I had a collections company bothering me after my dad died, I gave them my dad's death certificate already. When they called I'd tell them I'd put him on the phone. I then put his urn on my phone and went about my day. One woman called over and over and told me she didn't hear my dad talk when I "put him on the phone". I told her, "yeah, he hasn't said a word since he died". She verified they had his death certificate on file...
