I actually had to do this when my parents moved to assisted living. Fortunately I found a small firm run be two local ladies who offered their services in clearing out a house. For 30% of the take they came in, priced everything, gave us a chance for a last look, and then had an estate sale. Whatever didn't sell was relocated to the garage, and they had it donate or hauled off. As for funerals, I plan to go on a Tuesday. That's our trash pickup day, and I think I'll fit into the bin. Then I can make my final journey accompanied by orange peels and coffee grounds.
You're a braver woman than I. My mom's house sold last week. The buyers said that we could leave anything that we didn't want to take with us, so my sister and I plundered the house and left the rest. I'm waiting to read a headline someday "Rare ceramic thingamabob discovered in new homeowners' attic and sold for 100k!"

I think the sentencing minimum for āaiding and abetting a hoarderā is 5-7 years.
The dating site for hoarders! Perfect tag line. It's a weird world out there.
Ohio is the stuff of nightmares.
Also, I'm hoping to be composted. The planet desperately needs more trees.
Ohio compresses all of the worst things about the Midwest into a smaller package. Yes, I would love to feed a tree.
