We study the evolution of the heat and of a free quantum particle (described by the Schr"odinger equation) on two-dimensional manifolds endowed with the degenerate Riemannian metric $ds^2=dx^2+|x|^{-2alpha}d heta^2$, where $xin mathbb{R}$, $ hetainmathbb{T}$ and the parameter $alphainmathbb{R}$. For $alphale-1$ this metric describes cone-like manifolds (for $alpha=-1$ it is a flat cone). For $alpha=0$ it is a cylinder. For $alphage 1$ it is a Grushin-like metric. We show that the Laplace-Beltrami operator $Delta$ is essentially self-adjoint if and only if $alpha
otin(-3,1)$. In this case the only self-adjoint extension is the Friedrichs extension $Delta_F$, that does not allow communication through the singular set ${x=0}$ both for the heat and for a quantum particle. For $alphain(-3,-1]$ we show that for the Schr"odinger equation only the average on $ heta$ of the wave function can cross the singular set, while the solutions of the only Markovian extension of the heat equation (which indeed is $Delta_F$) cannot. For $alphain(-1,1)$ we prove that there exists a canonical self-adjoint extension $Delta_B$, called bridging extension, which is Markovian and allows the complete communication through the singularity (both of the heat and of a quantum particle). Also, we study the stochastic completeness (i.e., conservation of the $L^1$ norm for the heat equation) of the Markovian extensions $Delta_F$ and $Delta_B$, proving that $Delta_F$ is stochastically complete at the singularity if and only if $alphale -1$, while $Delta_B$ is always stochastically complete at the singularity.
