Commentary for Ketubot 92:3

נשאת יתר עליו הבעל שאוכל פירות בחייה וחייב במזונותיה ובפרקונה וקבורתה רבי יהודה אומר אפי' עני שבישראל לא יפחות משני חלילין ומקוננת:

If she gets married, the husband has the advantage over [the father], inasmuch as he does enjoy the usufruct [of her inherited property] during her lifetime. But he is obligated to [provide] her food, her ransom [in case of her being in captivity], and her burial. Rabbi Yehudah says, "Even the poorest man in Israel should not have fewer than two mourning flutes, and one lamenting woman [at the funeral of his wife]."
