The family of the deceased should make the funeral arrangements in accordance with any directives left by the parent. Costs for the funeral and other services are then paid out of the estate funds.

What happens when father purchase life insurance policy through funeral home dies and then funeral home discovers the policy has been cashed in and now sueing son for costs?

If you ordered the services then you will probably be responsible for the costs. Obviously the father had cashed in the policy and it's not the responsibility of the funeral home to make sure the policy is there. Funerals are mostly paid by people out of their policy and not by specific life policies.

What if your father has died left 2 life insurance policies one to you one to his mother-who pays for the funeral and who inherites his personal property and is responsible for his debts?

The beneficiary on the policy to you (assuming you don't have any financial obligations directly related to your father's death) is free and clear. Unfortunately for the mother, she's now responsible for the debt of the funeral, but depending on the value of your father's estate, the estate could be sold and help offset the cost of the funeral expenses. Otherwise, both policies are capital gain income, and post taxes they are the property of the beneficiaries.
