Perhaps OP should just circumvent the lady here and contact the other people directly. Tell the others that a burial policy is in place that should be utilized for the funeral. If they want to help their mom out with a loan for home repairs, that is on them. They can contact the OP if the policy does not cover all of the burial expenses.

This woman did not raise him, they were not even "close" until the very end, and she wants to take his money to presumably sell a house and move closer to her kids.

Yeah....he does not owe squat at this time.

She is asking children to bury their father so she can fix her house up. To me that is about as selfish as anything I have ever heard in my life.
this.when loved ones pass away,it always makes the shitters of the family reveal their true colors.

Is it illegal to cremate deceased loved ones yourself or just generally frowned upon?

Tell her sure. Then ask to "borrow" some money from the insurance money for your new car. She will understand.

Don't give her a dime. Honor what you think your father would have wanted. Use that money on your own family.

Sorry for your loss.

Is putting thousands more into a cardboard box really going to improve anything?

My BIL and I paid for my FIL funeral. Where weren't asked but insisted since my MIL is such a great person.

I don't think you should pay a dime toward this. It doesn't sound like your step mom is still related to you especially considering that ballsy request to help pay final expenses.

Sorry about your dad.

Sorry for your loss.

They've been married for 20 years. How close are the two of you? What would your dad have said in this situation? And do you have the disposable income to help and not worry about it?

Probably the three most important questions. If I wasn't close with her, but I knew my dad would have wanted me to help out and I had the income to, I probably would.

Also, aren't most funeral expenses paid out of the estate tax deductible? Assuming your father had some $ saved up that went to your step mom.
