My husband died in 2016. Can I deduct his funeral expenses on our joint return for that year?
Sorry for your loss, but unfortunately, funeral expenses cannot be claimed as an income tax deduction. If the value of your husband’s estate was large enough to require the filing of a federal estate tax return, then funeral expenses can be deducted on that return, Form 706.

Nonrecourse financing
Debt on which a person is not personally liable. In case of nonpayment, the creditor must foreclose on property securing the debt. At-risk rules generally bar losses where there is nonrecourse financing, but an exception applies to certain nonrecourse financing for real estate.
