not really, other family members may want to do it first. It will also depend where the funds are coming from to pay for the funeral. If there is no estate and it is the step son who has the money to pay for the funeral more likely than not, no other person will object. The only person that can take presidence is an executor who may be instructed in a Will to carry out such arrangements.

Answer

No. A step-son does not have a legal right to arrange a funeral unless that right was granted in a will or other legal document executed by the decedent.
