"I made contributions to a church. As executor of my late wife's estate I also made a bequest to the same church as directed in her will. Is this bequest also deductible for my tax return?"

That bequest would reduce her gross estate (which probably doesn't matter if it wasn't a large enough estate to file an estate tax return.) It is not deductible on your tax return.
