Yes, funeral expenses are a valid debt to the estate. The estate has to pay off the debts including funeral expenses. If the estate cannot do so, they distribute as best they can. If the court approves the distribution, the debts are ended.
Funeral Expenses and costs are determined by the funeral home providing the services not by the probate process. Funeral expenses should be paid promptly and if agreed, reimbursed later.

Most wills have a provision providing for payment of funeral expenses out of the proceeds of the estate. Check the deceased's will to see if this indeed is the case. If so, a beneficiary (or any other person for that matter) who pays the funeral expenses should be reimbursed. As a side note, the expenses associated with the funeral are usually deductible expenses when filing the estate's inheritance tax return. Check with either an estate attorney or the register of wills (or Orphan's Court) of the county where the will was probated (or will be probated). You should be able to get the answers you need from the register of wills.
