No, one would assume you would go to your mothers funeral regardless of reward
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.
No.
You can pay funeral expenses out of an estate. You are allowed to be reimbursed for these expenses when the estate is being settled.
sell the estate cover the expenses then buy it back with a parcial loan
The executor may be reimbursed by the estate for out-of-pocket expenses related to the settling of the estate, such as maintaining a property (and mortgage payments) until sale, clean-up costs, etc, and may be paid a minimal hourly fee for some such work. The funeral home is typically the first debt paid from the estate, ahead of other debts and ahead of the named beneficiaries.But neither the executor nor other beneficiaries are not entitled to reimbursement by the estate for personal expensessuch as travel to funeral, hotel, restaurants, new suit, etc. Those are personal expenses which are voluntary on the part of the bereaved and unrelated to the estate.On the other hand, many people have small life insurance policies with specified beneficiaries, intended to help with those immediate expenses. Such policies do not have to go through probate and may pay out quite quickly.
The funeral poem in "Four Weddings and a Funeral" was written by W.H. Auden. It is called "Funeral Blues" or "Stop all the clocks."
If you are a relative and would be entitled to them if you could have afforded to pay for the funeral, then yes you would be able to keep them. Ask whoever is going to pay for the funeral and make them aware before the cremation that you wish to keep the ashes, otherwise they might be scattered.
That will depend on your employment agreement. Most employers are not going to prevent someone from going to their own mother's funeral.
Your father's estate is responsible for paying the funeral expenses from his assets. The expenses and debts of the estate must be paid before any distribution is made to any of the beneficiaries. Therefore the funeral expenses must be paid before the beneficiary receives her portion from the estate.
The funeral expenses should be paid for out of an individual's estate before anything is paid to beneficiaries. This is usual language in wills and trusts. This must be paid for when services are rendered. However if a person is still living they can prearrange their planning with a licensed funeral director prior to this event. Usually if the individual is deceased the Executor and or Trustee will take care of this.
Legally the person who paid for the funeral would get the book, I would think. From a personal standpoint, I would say the next of kin to the deceased, or the person who would treasure it the most, if these are not the same person.
This will depend on the criminal law in your country, however, you are not entitled to get permission. To be out of prison for any funeral, it is also up to the prison authorities to decide this. Compassionate leave if granted is normally only granted (if granted) for a parent or a sibling.
