PAVY, Judge.

This is a claim by an administratrix against a bank for $5,197.84 representing a savings account balance as of May 1, 1974, the death date of Sam Lewis, one of the decedents. On May 3rd, at the instance of Harvey Lewis, the bank paid $2,972.32 to a funeral home for its burial expense claim. On May 9th, it paid the balance to said Harvey Lewis. The district court entered judgment for plaintiff in the amount of the last withdrawal of $2,225.52, and plaintiff does now seek to hold the bank liable for the payment directly to the funeral home. The defendant bank has appealed.
