Your email address was removed, it is against site rules for off board contact.

Legally your dad's estate, if any will pay for the funeral, money in dad's bank account will be used, if he had a car it may have to be sold along with other items to pay his bills before anyone else gets anything.

While it is morally right for you to pay a share of your own fathers funeral, I will assume you did not get along with him and had little to do with him since you feel no obligation to share this cost.

But if you are in the US, no you have no personal obligation.

The executor of the estate can take the costs of funeral expenses from the assets of the estate before any distribution to the heirs. So your share of any inheritance can be reduced to pay the expenses. Otherwise you cannot be forced to pay for expenses you didn't authorize.
