What can you do when you paid for your stepfather's funeral but received no portion of the estate or were reimbursed by family members for burial costs.?
The insurance funds and estate assets should cover the funeral expenses. You need to contact attorney who is probating the will to insure you are reimbursed for your expenses. You can make a claim against the estate just as long as you have all receipts to make it legal! * It would appear that the deceased's estate has already been probated or assets and property that were distributed were those that were exempt from probate procedure, either via a Will or probate succession laws. If that is the case, the only option for recovering monies spent for funeral and other costs would be for the injured party to bring suit against those adult family members who would have been involved. If the estate has not been closed by probate procedure it may be possible to make a claim, the deciding factor is the time that has expired between the filing of the estate and the filing of the claim of money owed. Be advised, the law does not require surviving children or family members to pay funeral expenses. The executor of the estate should have been responsible for the matter unless another family member volunteered to take the responsibility. It is an arbitrary choice, and if an agreement was not made with other individuals to share the expenses, then the plaintiff in a suit is not likely to prevail.

What happens if a divorced father of two children ages 19 and 21 dies and has no life insurance or any money for funeral expenses in the state of Wisconsin?
He still gets Social Security. That usually provides enough to pay for a simple funeral and burial. Like all states Wisconsin has provisions for aiding families who cannot afford burial expenses. In some cases it is handled within individual counties in others it is a matter of the state. Contact the state's Divison of Family Services for more specific information. The SSA pays a one time death benefit of a maximum of $225.00. Family members of the deceased might also consider contacting a local funeral director for assistance; most are knowledgeable in the procedure necessary for helping a family that does not have adequate funds for funeral expenses.

How are the family members placed in the cars after the funeral service?
After the funeral service, the placement of family members in cars is often organized with sensitivity and consideration for their comfort and emotional well-being. Typically, close family members such as immediate relatives, spouses, children, parents, and siblings are offered seating arrangements in designated vehicles. This allocation aims to provide support and closeness during the journey to the burial site or place of reception. Family members may be grouped in vehicles to facilitate communication and emotional support, allowing them to process their grief collectively. Additionally, arrangements may be made to ensure elderly or vulnerable family members are accommodated appropriately. Overall, the placement of family members in cars after the funeral service prioritizes their needs and fosters a sense of unity and support during a challenging time.
Can family members be forced to pay cremation cost when the will is not settled?
That depends on the circumstances. Who called the funeral home to remove the body? Who made the funeral arrangements? Who signed the contract? If someone went to a funeral home and made arrangements for a funeral then they have usually signed a contract making them responsible for payment. Whoever made the arrangements should pay and try to get other family members to share the cost. If there was no money to pay for a funeral then arrangements for a funeral shouldn't have been made. In many jurisdictions the city or the county pays for the burial of indigent decedents.
What would you do if funeral staff are laughing and joking and are seen by members of the congregation?
This is a very hurtful thing, but there's very little you can do during the funeral besides have someone speak to them, but you definitely can inform the congregation and family members that these persons are not respectful or professional. Let everyone at the funeral know not to give these people any more business.
