The spouse is not personally responsible for the funeral bills, unless they set them up and signed the paperwork, which is often the case. However, the estate is responsible. Which means that the estate may be depleted and a lien placed on the house. The spouse may not inherit anything.

Libability is defined as the state of being responsible for something. An expense is the cost required for something. Whether or not broken goods are a liability or expense depends on the detail surrounding how the goods were broken.
