The   reasonable  funeral  expenses  of  the  deceased  volunteer   firefighter shall be paid in an amount not exceeding six thousand  seven   hundred dollars; provided however, that such six thousand dollar maximum   shall  not  apply  where  a  volunteer  firefighter  dies  from injuries   received in the line of duty as a direct result of firefighting. If such   funeral expenses shall have been paid by a person entitled  to  benefits   under  this  section or by others, the funeral expenses awarded shall be   made payable to such beneficiary or  others;  otherwise  they  shall  be   payable  to  the  undertaker  who  provided the burial. Funeral expenses   shall be awarded in all death cases.2. If there be a surviving spouse, to such  spouse  the  lump  sum  of   fifty-six thousand dollars, but if there be no surviving spouse, then to   the   executor   or   administrator  of  the  estate  of  the  volunteer   firefighter, the lump sum of fifty-six thousand dollars. Such sum  shall   be  in addition to any other benefits provided in this chapter and shall   not be diminished by benefits paid to the volunteer  firefighter  during   his  or  her  lifetime.  Any  money paid to an executor or administrator   pursuant to the provisions of this subdivision shall be  distributed  in   the  manner  provided  by the laws of this state for the distribution of   the personal property of an intestate decedent. Provided, however,  that   nothing  herein  shall  be  construed as affording a greater benefit for   those volunteer firefighters injured prior to the effective date of this   act, however the spouse or estate of such firefighter shall continue  to   be  eligible  for  a  benefit  in the sum of eleven thousand eighty-four   dollars.3. If there be a surviving  spouse  and  no  surviving  child  of  the   deceased under the age of eighteen years or under the age of twenty-five   years  who  is  enrolled  as  a  full  time  student  in  any accredited   educational institution and no surviving  child  of  any  age  dependent   blind  or physically disabled, to such spouse one hundred thirty dollars   for each week until remarried, and upon such remarriage the lump sum  of   thirteen thousand one hundred forty-two dollars.4.

Upon statutory    termination of payments to  all  such  children,  the  payments  to  the   surviving  spouse  shall  be increased to one hundred thirty dollars for   each week until such spouse remarries, and upon  such  remarriage,  such   spouse  shall  be  paid  the  lump  sum  of twelve thousand thirty-three   dollars.5.
