Best Answer

The responsibility for making funeral arrangements in Indiana follow a specific order. The order starts with a person named in a funeral planning document or the person who holds a power of attorney over the deceased parent. If there was not a funeral planning document or power of attorney, the responsibility goes to a surviving spouse, then an adult child, and lastly to any adult next of kin.

Can family members be forced to pay cremation cost when the will is not settled?

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. Whoever made the arrangements should pay and try to get other family members to share the cost. If there was no money to pay for a funeral then arrangements for a funeral shouldn't have been made. In many jurisdictions the city or the county pays for the burial of indigent decedents.

What are the working hours of a funeral director?

. Most funeral homes have set office hours; however, as a funeral director you don't really work on a set schedule. You are pretty much on 24 hour call, available whenever you are needed. That may be so at a one man operation but all large funeral homes actually give people off weekends and holidays every so often.


What does it mean to be in a funeral parlor but no casket of a family member?

This dream has no casket because it is not referring to an actual death. Instead, the funeral parlor suggests your anticipation of something in your life that is coming to an end and the need to be prepared in the sense of "making arrangements." Whatever is ending might be anything from a marriage to a job or something as simple as a school term.
