Andy,

I did the same thing with tax collectors

I LOVE IT.
I can only imagine what the billing company thought when it was contacted by the cemetary employees and told where their bills were coming to, may have stopped some but I have the feeling that others would insist on talking to the (dead) person since this was their last known address. lol

Yep....I did the same thing. My father lived with my family the last few years of his life, and he left behind a few unsettled debts. Letters certifying his death took care of all but one. After almost a year of harassment by debt collectors for this particular creditor, I finally them gave one the address of the cemetery my father was buried in. I also looked in the phone book and gave them the telephone number of someone with the same name as my father. Cruel, I know, but it worked. The calls and letters soon stopped.
