On a lime green background, we see the logo for My Parents Are Dead: What Now? featuring a cartoon skull with heart eyes atop a lime green heptagon. Below, black text in decreasing sizes reads: It's Friday the 13th. Have you made a will yet? (Might not be the worst idea.) deadparentswhatnow.com

Old fashioned white and green text on a dark gray background reads: Before my parents died, the only thing I knew for sure about wills was that a lawyer reads them aloud to you and all the other beneficiaries in a fancy room, letting each individual know whether and what they’ve inherited.

At the top of a fuzzy black and gray background is the logo for My Parents Are Dead: What Now? featuring a cartoon skull with heart eyes atop a lime green heptagon. Below, lime green and black text reads: You do not inherit your dead parents' debts!!! Creditors can come for your parents' estate, but they can't come for your personal money.*

Just a friendly reminder: When your parents die, you don't inherit their debts. If the money left in their estate isn't enough to cover their debts, too bad. It's not your problem.

At the top of a light gray background is the logo for My Parents Are Dead: What Now? featuring a cartoon skull with heart eyes atop a lime green heptagon. Below, dark gray and lime green text reads: Fiduciary. / fɪˈdu ʃiˌɛr I / (adjective) Derived from the Latin word for “trust,” this term indicates that the person or entity in question is obligated to work for your benefit, not their own. For example: “Publicly traded companies have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders.” LOL. deadparentswhatnow.com

On a dark gray background speckled with black, white and lime green text reads: "Maybe Grandfather had ladies' underwear in his drawer and maybe Grandma had a dildo in hers. But what does that matter now? They are no longer among us; if we liked them, it really should be nothing for us to worry about. Let us each have our small preferences, as long as nobody gets hurt." - Margareta Magnusson, The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning

"The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning" is genuinely one of the most charming books I've ever read. And for what it's worth, I found nothing even remotely this exciting when I was cleaning out my parents' stuff. What about you?

In the center of a gray, textured background that looks sort of like wallpaper is a faded old black-and-white photograph of a Black woman holding a baby. Surrounding the photograph, white and green text reads: You should know about Henrietta Duterte. After her husband’s death in 1858, she took over his Philadelphia funeral parlor, becoming the first female mortician. She also made that funeral parlor a stop on the Underground Railroad, hiding freedom-seekers inside coffins! In the lower right hand corner is the logo for My Parents Are Dead: What Now? featuring a cartoon skull with heart eyes atop a lime green heptagon.

I aspire to be 1/10 this cool. I had to compress her story a lot for this post, but her Wikipedia page is well worth the read: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henriet...
