My mother had let it be known to her that a certain account was to be used for expenses related to airfares for funeral attendance and anything else needed after her death. The remainder is going to be distributed to the family. Of course, my sister was also a co-signer on her accounts. That might make a difference. You could set up one account with the executor to handle expenses.

Note that the OP said there is no friend or family member who is suitable to be an executor. Any named executor is allowed to charge expenses to the estate.
