A will makes no difference other than to indicate if the deceased parent left funds either money or life insurance to pay the cost of their funeral. They are still you're parent, so the adult child should pay, that is the moral stance. However, legally, the children do not have the funds to pay for the funeral, then they can ask the government for help. Most governments usually will provide for the cost of a basic funeral for a deceased, if that deceased left no means from their estate to meet their own funeral costs.
