Who Pays For The Funeral Cost For My Parents When Pass?
I don’t have power of attorney my daughter does. I was told (from several sources) that the person who makes the funeral arrangments is responsible for payment.

When you sign a contract with a funeral home, you are responsible for payment. Since your Daughter has the POA, she should be taking care of the arrangements. If she doesn’t, it will come out of the Estate.
They should have insurance for that, if not, do not sign off on anything. You sign, you pay. Let your sister eat the bill. Better to just tell the county your broke and plant them both in a paupers grave or cremation.
if there is a power of attorney, there’s probably a will. The expenses should come out of the estate either way.
Yes the person who knowingly enters into the contract with the funeral home to use their services for a third party would be liable
