A CPP/QPP death benefit will generally not be taxable if the recipient is not the estate or a beneficiary of the estate, and all of the following circumstances apply:
The taxpayer who received the death benefit paid the deceased's funeral expenses
The amount of the death benefit is not more than the funeral expenses
The deceased has no heirs, and there is no other property in the estate
