Yes, a separate account that is set up for that purpose. I forget that lots of people only have one savings and one checking account and many don't have a bank account at all.
My parents were out of pocket about $11K for a basic funeral and another $10K for expenses between my aunts death and the estate settling. (Utilities on the house, repairs to get it ready to sell, etc)
After a series of deaths on both sides of the family both my parents and in-laws are done with the death industrial complex. They don't want a funeral, just the cheapest cremation and a small family get-together. My mother-in-law doesn't even want a death notice. She says the people that need to know she died will know.
