If the deceased did not legally designate someone to make decisions regarding their funeral arrangements, it falls to the next-of-kin; which is the closest blood-related family member (or spouse).
People holding a power-of-attorney (POA) for a relative or friend at the time of death often believe that they have the right to make funeral arrangements for the person after they die. This is not the case.
If the insurance company does not have its own form, the funeral home may use the attached Irrevocable Assignment of Policy Ownership form. Fill out the information requested, have the policyowner sign the form before a notary, and submit the form to the insurance company.
