No. But if Grandmother can still make her own decisions, she can change the POA any time she wants to. What is stopping her?

You may certainly hold a funeral service for your grandmother, even if her ashes are not present.

If you are certain that Oldest Aunt has stolen GM's money, report this to the APS.

As far as I know any concerned party can object to a POA. I think the starting point would be to contact the probate court (probably in town hall) in the town where your grandmother was living when the POA was granted. I may be confusing this with attesting conservators. But I would still contact the probate court and ask. They would know the answer and tell you how to proceed.
