As the POA is jointly and severally, then yes you can. It is only if it is jointly that you have to all agree
With Joint and Several any attorney has power to take an action, if another attorney disagrees and discussion does not result in agreement the only redress the other attorney has is to formally inform the OPG that the action is factually not in the donor's best interests.
If taking out a prepaid funeral plan bear in mind that not all funeral directors accept all plans and not all plan providers will work with all funeral directors. Plans are an acceptable means of reducing capital.
