Re: claims funeral cost

I agree with the other authors, with one exception. If the decedent was on Medicaid, Medicaid only pays for a simple funeral (plain pine box, etc.). If anyone wants more, this becomes a private pay issue and if the Executor and estate beneficiaries do not agree to reimburse you (only wanting what Medicaid provides), you might not be reimbursed and litigation might be necessary. You can expect the costs to be contested.
