No.

[bednobs]

which country is "this" country?

[joko]

this is predominantly a UK site, so 'this' country and '$' makes it a bit unclear of where you mean

[dzug]

In the UK funeral expenses are deductible from the deceased's estate when assessing the amount due for Inheritance Tax and probate fees.
