What jurisdiction defines “funeral” precisely and strictly in this fashion? Can you back that claim up?

"funerals are expensive, wakes are cheap." That depends on a lot of different things...

The statement "expenses for that are not legally payable by the estate" also calls for some support. Where is this principle expressed in NSW law? The qualification "even though they commonly are" also deserves more attention: is this not an abuse of the legal provisions? Why does the probate system tolerate it? Or is the "common" practice only found in cases where nobody challenges the disposition of the assets, or where the estates debts can be settled in full, or under other circumstances?
