What is the name of your state? California

My mothers will has a statement for her funeral expenses to be paid from her estate. She is survived by her husband. The estate is a house and an insurance police that I am beneficiary of. I am named as executor of estate and beneficiary of her estate, (the house). Her husband has the house she and him lived in.
The question is. Am I responsible to pay the funeral or is the responsibility her surviving spouse?

Thanks again.

Become familiar with Probate Code Sections 11440-46. This is one of the difficult parts of probating her estate. (This OP has more than one post on this matter.) 11446 has the answer to your question.
