Question

funeral

can we use the deceased checking account to pay for the funeral if our name is on the account, but not the check

Answer

Re: funeral

If you have access to the account and can legally use the funds in it I would recommend that you ask the bank for a cashier's check or money order for the amount of the funeral expenses and pay with that.
