If there is no money to pay funeral costs in the estate the executor is not personally responsible. The estate can be sued to have any assets sold and the funeral home is paid first.
The family of the deceased should make the funeral arrangements in accordance with any directives left by the parent. Costs for the funeral and other services are then paid out of the estate funds.
No, the estate is responsible for all debts, including those of the burial. However, if the children sign the contracts for the funeral arrangements, they may be responsible.
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.
The estate will be responsible for the burial costs, but the person making the arrangements may be held liable.
In most cases the debts of the deceased are the responsibility of the estate. If you signed the papers on the funeral arrangements you might also be responsible. Consult a probate attorney in your jurisdiction for help.
The responsibility for making funeral arrangements in Indiana follow a specific order. The order starts with a person named in a funeral planning document or the person who holds a power of attorney over the deceased parent. If there was not a funeral planning document or power of attorney, the responsibility goes to a surviving spouse, then an adult child, and lastly to any adult next of kin.
