In the midst of dealing with the grief of the loss of a loved one and the planning of a funeral or wake, it can become lost how to pay the final bills and expenses of a loved one. Let alone who is or should be responsible for doing so. This can be especially difficult if the deceased didn’t keep track of bills that needed to be paid well or lived alone and no one else is aware of what expenses they had. Once the funeral has taken place, the estate will need to be settled and part of that entails paying a loved one's final bills and expenses.
