Can a son who has power of attorney on his mother's bank account pay her funeral expenses from that bank account upon her death?

Absolutely NOT! Unless he would like an extended visit to a state prison. If the POA grantor is competent and wishes to leave all such assets to the son in by means of her will or by legally transferring said assets to the son, then the assets might not be subject to probate procedure. Although any sign of misappropriation of assets would be subject to audit by the probate court and by state and federal tax agencies. Of course all other "interested parties" would be able to contest the will and possibly the transfer action upon the death of the grantor. It is assumed that the POA holder is aware that any such transaction needs the approval of the probate court before they can be done.

If you are one of the account holders, yes. You do not need a power of attorney to do so. Also a power of attorney expires on the death of the grantor.
How can you get the money from your deceased mothers checking account?
The executor of the estate can close and empty the bank account. Distribution will be in accordance with the will. Consult a probate attorney in your state. You have to wait until the will goes through probate.
Can your credit be ruined if you do not pay your deceased mothers medical bills there was no estate she owned nothing?
It should not affect your credit unless you signed as a guarantor on any of the agreements. In most cases the debts of the deceased, including funeral expenses, are the responsibility of the estate. The estate, or its beneficiary should reimburse any valid debtors before giving any of the assets away. Consult a probate attorney in your jurisdiction for help.
What forms do you need if you are poa on your mothers account?

Is it against the law to withdraw money from my mothers account although i have power of attorney to maybe give it to someone is it against the law for me to do this if so tell me why?
Power of attorney over your mother's account means that you are allowed to use her money in her best interests. This will usually mean you can not give it to someone else, unless you are paying him for mowing your mother's lawn or something like that. All your accounts can be checked to make sure you are doing the right thing.
Can you gamble away all of your mothers money if you have her power of attorney?
