If the movables are insufficient, such charges ought to be paid out of the product of the immovables belonging to the debtor in preference to all other privileged and. mortgage creditors. Civ. Code, art. 3289. Funeral charges and other claims originating after the death of the de cujus are not required to be recorded. Civ. Code, art. 3276. Article 186 of the Constitution of 1898, in declaring that no mortgage or privilege on immovable property shall affect third persons unless duly recorded, simply repeats the provisions of the Civil Code, and adds to the -list of exceptions contained in article 3276 privileges for ‘expenses of last illness’ and privileges ‘for taxes.’ In other words, article 186 of the Constitution places -such privileges on the same plane as claims originating after the death of the de cujus, which the Civil Code has never required to 'be recorded, ‘since registry is without effect, after decease.’ Succession of Elliott v. Elliott, 31 La. Ann. 37 .””
