Headstone Cost and Funeral Travel

Trusts Discussion

  1. Yes, a headstone is a funeral expense - you would only be wise to seek agreement if the expense were something extraordinary.
  2. No,I’m not at all sure that a beneficiary’s taxi is a funeral expense. It doesn’t sound like it to me.

Re the headstone, I should add that i’m not certain that the executor has ultimate authority on the grave and funeral (you may well do, I just don’t know it for certain).
