Have you considered letting the public trustee do it?

I believe I may have spoken to the public trustee previously about this. If I recall correctly, if the deceased was not being taken care of by the Public Trustee, they don't normally get involved.
Thanks again for the suggestion. One thing this entire scenario has taught me is there must be a lot of poor, low income and lonely people who have nobody to look after their estates or what little funds they have.
It's shocking how often I have come across a "If I don't do this and that, than who will?"
Thanks again
