Your kids shouldn't have to do this.
Court filings, creditor windows, frozen accounts — a revocable living trust skips them all.

728 funeral homes and crematories in Illinois, listed by city and county. Each listing names the services the home offers, the faiths it serves and the languages its staff speak, with its address, its phone and a link to its general price list where it posts one.
Licence rows come from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR), Funeral Directors and Embalmers Unit; what a home offers comes from its own site. SimplyTrust lists no prices, no reviews and no rankings, and does not endorse any home. Contact a home directly for its general price list, which the Funeral Rule requires it to provide.
