<prompt> Human: As the title says, my dad committed suicide last night. Were pretty distraught and mostly still in shock. He drove his 2012 Hemi Challenger into a tree.I know we need to contact everyone he has an account with, shut them down and transfer what we can into my moms name. Is there anything g Im missing there?We also have no idea what to do about the life insurance policies he has. Can anyone let us know what kind of things we need to be prepared for with this? We live in North Carolina.Sorry if this is vague, my mind is still reeling.  <response>: Believe it or not, the funeral home may be able to help you out. They usually have a packet of information telling you how to get the death certificate, how many you might need, contacting insurance companies, etc. Its part of their job to help you, and theyre usually happy to help you.Was your father still employed? The companys HR should be able to provide you with some information. And having gone through the death of both parents, my personal advice is, even if you believe youre thinking clearly, youre not. Every decision you have to make, take your time, and read everything through at least twice.
