Cal. Prob. Code § 11446 — Allocation of Debts Between Estate and Surviving Spouse is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.

Notwithstanding any other statute, funeral expenses and expenses of last illness shall be charged against the estate of the decedent and shall not be allocated to, or charged against the community share of, the surviving spouse, whether or not the surviving spouse is financially able to pay the expenses and whether or not the surviving spouse or any other person is also liable for the expenses.
