Yes, particularly if the will states that the funeral expenses are to be paid by the estate, a very common clause.
Money provided by an attendee or guest at a funeral service is referred to as a funeral donation or memorial donation. Often bereaved families will note that in lieu of flowers for the family, funeral donations be made to ZYZ and note a charitable institution or cause. Otherwise, if an organization is not specified or there is no mention of funeral donations, attendees are known to give the bereaved family the funds.
Burial insurance (aka funeral insurance) is a basic issue life insurance policy that covers people's burial expenses. Burial insurance is promoted as a way to pay in advance for your funeral expenses so that your loved ones won't have to pay for your funeral. There are many things you can do to make your death easier on the wallets of those you love. Preplanning your funeral saves money and grief, as well as deciding whether you want to be buried in a casket or cremated and put into and urn, figuring out who gets what part of your estate, and which company to choose for your perfect term life insurance policy (if you're a senior).
It's up to you to choose between you. There's no rule. As long as the insurance company gets the money they are not worried.
NO. I say again, NO! SS only pays less than $300 at death. You need Final Expense insurance for pennies on the dollar to pay for the funeral, tombstone, grave site, graveside service, medical bills, probate, estate taxes, etc, etc. If you don't, you leave that financial Burden with your family. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ My original answer that Medicaid covers funeral expenses still stands. This is a state by state thing. Some states do and some don't. Indiana Medicaid does pay for SOME funeral expenses; body burial and cremation. The Indiana Medicaid coverage for a body burial is insufficient to cover those costs. Indiana recently raised their maximum for cremation. One cremation company based in Indianapolis will accept the Medicaid money and include an urn without any costs to the family. For information on funeral expenses you may want to take a look at the web site Funerals and Ripoffs. You will be surprised when you read the documented facts about the funeral industry and the site will show you how to save money in planning the funeral. funerals-ripoffs.org
If you mean, who will make the payments at funerals, the family contracts with a funeral home and pays a lump fee. Out of that amount, the funeral director makes appropriate payments as ageed upon.written by Rev. Amy Long
The Dad is buying life insurance to cover the costs of a funeral and other expenses. Otherwise, why would he buy it? The father has a legitimate reason to insure the individual and the money goes to him.

At the very least, the reason for life assurance is to allow your survivors money to take care of your funeral and any other issues surrounding your death. To put it bluntly, you want to do the responsible thing and not inconvenience anyone or have anyone come out of pocket with expenses that are necessary surrounding your death. If you want to do more than that and you have the money, you may want to leave memorial to your church, a charitable organization , or your family. A benefit of life assurance is that is payable immediately upon proof of death. What that means to your survivors is that they by-pass the time-consuming probate system.

Elzbieta collected money from the neighbors to help pay for her husband's funeral costs and to cover the family's living expenses. She was struggling financially and turned to the community for assistance during a difficult time.
It is up the the person, but I would say that yes it is appropriate to ask a family member living with you for money to help pay the expenses. It might help them to try to find work. But that would have been a good thing to settle before letting the family member move in with you. If you didn't do that, it is still appropriate. Simply explain that there is an expense in having one or more extra people in the house, and that you think a certain amount of money per week or month would help in paying the expenses for food and other things.
