No. A Power of Attorney is null and void upon the death of the principal. The executor or personal representative of the estate takes over responsibility for managing the deceased's affairs. The agent no longer has authority to make decisions on behalf of the estate.

Cremated remains are buried or inurned in national cemeteries with the same honors as casketed remains. Burial benefits include a gravesite in any of the VA's 135 national cemeteries, opening and closing of grave, perpetual care, a Government headstone or marker, a burial flag, and a Presidential Memorial Certificate, at no cost to the family. Some veterans may be eligible for Burial Allowances.

Social Security pays a lump sum death benefit of $255. A spouse can receive this one-time benefit. If no spouse exists, a dependent child generally age 18 or under is eligible for the one-time lump sum benefit of $255.

The Catholic Church allows cremation but prefers traditional burial for spiritual reasons. The Church requires that cremated remains be kept together and interred or buried in a sacred place such as a cemetery or columbarium. Scattering, dividing, or keeping cremated remains at home is not permitted as it shows lack of respect for the body and hinders grieving and prayer. While the funeral Mass is ideally celebrated with the body present, a memorial service with cremated remains can be held if necessary.
