See the attached article. Generally, as long as your mom had assets of one type or another (savings, equity in a home, life insurance, etc.,) the cost of the funeral will come out of her estate, although the estate's executor may possibly have to front the money and be reimbursed from the estate later on. So basically it's the executor's problem, not yours. Families do sometimes cooperate on such issues, but you are under no obligation to do so, especially since you have already been cut out in significant ways.
What I would do is to ask your brother, who is the estate executor? Also, see if you can get a copy of your mom's will.
