You need to obtain an original death certificate and will showing it was left to you, if it was left to a parent they can still fill out an afidavit of heirship that will need to be notarized and sign it over to you.
You can start by checking with the deceased parent's lawyer, estate planning attorney, or financial advisor. You can also check with the probate court in the county where the deceased parent lived to see if a will has been filed for probate. Sometimes, the executor named in the will or the deceased parent's close family members may also have knowledge of the existence of a will.
Ask them, though they don't have to answer. Other than that, there isn't a way to find out. They can file it with an attorney or even with the probate court, but it isn't public until it comes up for probate after their death.
Generally, yes. You and siblings would receive your deceased parent's share UNLESS your grandmother's will specified that if any of HER children were deceased then their share would go to THEIR surviving siblings.

You should call the attorney who is handling the estate to ascertain what your interest may be.

A will makes no difference other than to indicate if the deceased parent left funds either money or life insurance to pay the cost of their funeral. They are still you're parent, so the adult child should pay, that is the moral stance. However, legally, the children do not have the funds to pay for the funeral, then they can ask the government for help. Most governments usually will provide for the cost of a basic funeral for a deceased, if that deceased left no means from their estate to meet their own funeral costs.
