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.

Cremation, if I am the sibling deciding. ANSWER 2: It should be decided by the eldest sibling after full consultation with the others. In a perfect world, the parent should or would have let his/her wishes be known beforehand.
The ex husband should come alone (without his girlfriend or second wife) and sit on the side of his ex wife's family. If you have a girlfriend or you're remarried it would be in poor taste to bring your mate to your ex wife's funeral.
Remember that the funeral is for the family. If you have a contentious relationship with your ex-spouse you should not attend since that may add to your ex-wife's grief and discomfort at a very sad and stressful time for her. However, if the ex-husband and ex-wife have an amicable relationship, there is no reason why he should not attend her mother's funeral. The ex-husband may show his respect for her mother in other ways. A card, flowers or gift to a charity in her name would be tasteful.
