Dying in Germany as a Foreigner [Body Repatriation?]

If I suddenly die and I don’t have any family members in Germany, what’s going to happen? Who’s gonna tell my employer? What’s gonna happen to my apartment and the stuff inside it? Who’s gonna cancel all my contracts and handle all the bills? What happens to my dog? What happens to my bank account?
