File a Motion in the Probate Court that has jurisdiction over your Dad's Estate and/or open a case there if one doesn't already exist. Tell the court of the situation and let them sort out who is entitled to what.

Once your father passed, the power of attorney was no longer in effect. Did he have a will? If so, then the person who was named as executor needs to file a petition to be appointed. Was "this woman" married to your father? If so, you may be out of luck. Otherwise, as next of kin, you can get appointed as administrator (if you are over the age of 18). Once someone has been officially appointed, that person has the legal authority to determine the disposition of assetts.

The power of attorney ended at the death of your father. Send her a letter asking for the items you want. If there is an estate, deal with the executor to help you.

Why did you not make the arrangements. If she made the arrangements and placed a memorial book for signature why is that not hers.

I think that you and your siblings should go to this woman and tell her that you want the book. Find out why she thinks that she is entitled to it, especially since she is not his spouse or any legal heir. If you don't like the answer, then sue her.

Somebody will have to file for probate, maybe. Talk with a local attorney as what your best approach is.
