The estate is liable for the funeral bill. But that doesn't mean that grandmother gets the whole estate, she only gets enough to reimburse what she can prove that she spent.
Whoever is the executor or administrator (personal representative) of the estate has a right to control all of the estate property, and deal with claims like grandmother's. Having a lawyer on board would help with this.
