Funeral costs: who pays?

Questioner

Hello, my mother-in-law is not insured for the funeral. Are the children obliged to pay the expenses of her funeral? despite the fact that they do not inherit.?

Lawyer

If the children have ordered the funeral, they must also pay the costs. This is independent of whether they are heirs or not.

Questioner

and if the children really don't have the money to pay for the funeral How should it be arranged then?

Lawyer

If the children have given the undertaker instructions, they must pay his invoice. If there is no money available, a payment arrangement can perhaps be made with the undertaker.
