A precedent was set over 30 years ago with video wills. I was a litigation paralegal reading legal papers and studying ads. Disinherit your Nephew in Living Color was one pitch.
I aim for self employment in a sense as going to an office is NOT good for my mental health. On the other hand existing on 20 dollars a week after expenses is not either. A conundrum.
I can easily envision the call. In 1989 Fundraising for the Berkeley office of the Sierra Club as contract hire until I quit in disgust had me use high pressure sales tactics to get money in the door. (Plausible denialbilty for the Club). The end for me was the day I called an older couple for the $10,000 contribution gifted yearly save that year. Husband had a major stroke, envelope was on his desk, they were day one home from hospital. Instead of closing on credit card I agreed that the pledge could be honored by check in mail. Boss not happy.
$$$$ NOW. I also observed we did not recycle. So using this emotional bias I held for integrity I quit.

Late to this. Sorry for your loss Stegiel, hope everything works out (or worked out) re arrangements.
Imagine having such a salesperson contacting the recently bereaved.

Too bad you could not be self employed.
It's the only way to not compromise one's moral code.
