There are several "refundable" tax credits that can result in a refund greater than what you paid in. The most common are the Additional Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Credit (EIC). There are also more obscure credits such as the credit for repayments of previous years' taxable income.

Who should get a refund after someone's death?

What type of refund are you looking for. If you or the person bought an item that you no longer need or is broken you can get a refund that way, within reason of course. You cant and shouldn't look for a refund from any used medical items or gifts that were given to this person. If your talking about having paid for someone's funeral and you were not given the items that you paid for or the service was poor and you can prove it, then you may be entitled to a refund but have your info ready. Other than that I don't know what refund you are seeking.
