Dear is this legal:
There are different types of Power of Attorney's "Nondurable ," "Durable," and "Springing" Power of Attorney. I say this because it would more than likely depend on what kind the person of question had and the logistics contained in the document.
On a basic level this action is not necessary illegal, may be morally wrong, but not "illegal". In general the Power of Attorney does not necessarily have any obligation to the Funeral Director to disclose any information other than what is needed for the burial.
Try contacting the national Funeral Directors Association they may aid you with any specifics that you may need and you can give specifics not contained in your question, see below for information. Good luck!

I am not really sure what you are asking, but it doesn't matter because the Power of Attorney is void upon the death of the person that offered it. At death, the will or if intestate, the state (laws) take over as to who is what , doing anything to whom...etc.
So, if someone was pushing their weight around, and they are not the executor of the estate, they were being naughty
