 The inheritance administrator appointed by the deceased has the powers and duties to arrange for the funeral of the deceased, save where the deceased has specifically appointed a different person to arrange therefor.

If the deceased has not appointed the inheritance administrator or any person to arrange for his funeral or the heirs have not authorised any person to arrange therefor, the person receiving the largest portion of the inheritance property by virtue of a will or statutory right shall have the powers and bear the duties to arrange therefor, save where the court finds it appropriate to appoint a different person to arrange therefor at the request of any interested person.

The funeral expenses which create an obligation in favour of any person may be claimed by virtue of the preferential right specified in section 253(2) of this Code.

If the arrangement of the funeral has to be delayed for any reason, the person having the power under the provisions of the previous section shall set aside an appropriate amount of money from the assets in the mass of the inheritance for use in this matter. In the event of disagreement or objection as to the amount thus set aside, any interested person may file a petition with a court.
