Funeral expenses are payable from the estate. The heirs are bound to repay the money owed, or the creditors may petition the Court to have the property sold to pay the debt.
Get the lawyer who handled the succession to defend against this suit. You say how much 3 people put in for the funeral but don't say how much your Aunt put up. The cost of the funeral should have been included in the debts owed by the deceased in the succession. If she paid money for the funeral then the money is owed and she should be repaid.
