Usually not, unless they were listed on the original loan papers or they were part-owners of a family owned business or corporation. However, the estate the children might inherit would be subject to the debts of the parents.

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.

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.
