    Bill is probably in the online portal / "my account" section and may not be "final" but more of a credit based on the pro-rata period between the notification of the termination, as its paid month in advance.

    do they have a bereavement team?  not sure if they do but you might ask?

    meanwhile - sorry for your loss and the hassle you're getting.

    To be honest 8 days isn't very long. When my dad died recently it took weeks for some things to be settled.
    Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.

    Request that they email the final bill instead of posting it—this might speed things up.
