Funerals are expensive and she probably was collecting checks.
Police call a welfare check a non emergency call about the “welfare” of someone. Like someone doesn’t show up for work for days or contact family etc and they suspect something may have happened law enforcement will go check on the person. It’s sadly often how deceased people are found.Yes, that's likely. But "welfare checks" are real somewhere or other, I do believe. Social workers and all. I fortunately have no experience with this directly, but I've seen it on TV shows....
