Funeral Expenses

On what tax form are you referring to?

No they are not deductible on the 1040 form!

You might be able to use them on the 706 form as an estate deduction.

Not deductible on your 1040.
However, they could be deductible on the estate tax return, Form 706, if one is filed. See TTB page 21-32.
