Safety concerns
When someone who lived alone dies, it is important to safeguard their property while the estate is being settled. Make sure to stop newspapers and the mail and make it appear that the house is occupied.
A warning: Ask the police or sheriff's department to watch the house during the funeral. Burglars sometimes strike.
