In a recent conversation with my sil I got the impression that she was letting me off contributing towards the cost of his impending funeral .
She said that she had paid the bill in full and that I needn't worry about this .I was very taken aback by this and said something along the lines of "Oh ,are you sure that's ok ? " And she said "It's ok ,the money is there "
She and my brother are not at all hard up ,just before my brothers death she explained to me that she brought a large portfolio of shares (built up by her stockbroker dad ) to the marriage but my brother brought practically nothing .
Is it the done thing in some circles for funeral costs to be shared between relatives of a spouse ?

If your spouse died would you ask their relatives to contribute towards funeral costs
