Help!!!!! My uncle died last night. How do i find out if he has burial insurance?

Question

He was a single man no wife and no kids. He just retired 6 months ago and was traveling alone. We got a phone call today saying they found his body at the bottom of a stair case at a Motel. Im in Texas and he was Idaho but we are going over there tomorrow (its quiet expensive). How do i find out if he had any will, preferences, No one knows so far. He was in the military long ago then he's been working for the Government doing something and he was making good money but he retired 6 months ago. Should'nt he have some kinda Burial insurance? What happened we dont even know what Motel he was at, how do i find out??

I guess you can say my Uncle lived a very private life.

I miss my Uncle.....I wish i could have said goodbye..

Answer 1

You can call the place he retired from. Call the Military he was in. Call his car insurance agent he may have had insurance through them.Check the home town Lawyers. But first of all go to his home. I know it might be hard but you can go threw his things. My brother was killed in a car accident a year and a month ago. We where very lucky. His work and friends and the furenerl home did alot to find out things for us.
I hope you can get the onfo you need.
My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of need.
First you have to deal with your grief and then worry about how you are going to put him to rest.
I think everything will come out in the end for you and your family.
Again my prayer are with you and your family.
