If the scholarship is for a particular school - contact the school.  If it is for a school of their choice, an accountant or lawyer could help you best.\n\nI searched Yahoo for set up memorial scholarship and got lots of links, including this one: http://experts.about.com/q/Funerals-1739/memorial-scholarship.htm

You could try searching their name in local papers to see if there is an obituary listing for them.

Here are the basic principles: http://www.italianlaw.net/services/inheritance-filings/\n\nIt is best if you can locate the notary (family and property lawyer) who  handled the succession.

How about a mortician.

I would talk with a pastor of the denomination involved. If there's not time for that write out a nice speech acknowledging the persons life, accomplishments, and strong personal points. Let the end of the speech call for the friends and family of the deceased to resolve (this is a resolution) to hold this dear ones memory close and to follow their example in good things just as they followed the example of Jesus. If you want to make it really nice and give people something to keep put the speech down on paper real nice and neat, maybe typed out or something like that, and then make lots of copies. If you can add a photo of the deceased (and remember to put things like the date and location of the church on it) I think people would like it. But check with the pastor before you do this. Hope this helps. :-)

If it is someone in a religious setting, I believe a nice tribute would be to make a charitable contribution in his/her name to an organization they care about, and send them a heartfelt letter informing them of the contribution, and why you were motivated to make the donation (i.e., how they positively influence your life.)  Over the years, ministers accumulate a wide array of commemorative objects, but the knowlege that he/she has made an impact will probably have lasting, though not tangible, significance.  To really give a better answer, it would help to know the occasion, how many people are giving the gift and how closely the givers know the person.  Good Luck!

Start first in the county where the individual died.

Ask the undertakers/funeral managers...they should know.

Presumably the death has been registered and the funeral is over and it is simply a matter of sorting out the estate.\n\n1.Make sure you get plenty of copies of  the death certificate - 15 is a good working number.  You will have to show copies to banks, building societies, companies with which the deceased held shares...it goes on and on.  Many organisations will need sight of an original Death Certificate before releasing funds. Copies obtained from the Registry of Births Deaths and Marriages are regarded as 'originals' as opposed to a photocopy of the certificate.  \n  \n2.. Apply for a Grant of Probate via the nearest Probate Registry.  You may well have done this already. \n\n3.  Arrange to open a  Personal Representative's bank account. This will be used for paying in money due to the estate and any loan arranged to pay an Inheritance Tax bill and/or probate fees.  Eventually it will be used for paying out bequests under the will.  Warning: after twelve months the bank will start charging monthly fees.\n\n4. Inform all relevant persons and organisations - banks, building societies, life assurance companies, employers, local authorities, Inland Revenue, benefit agencies etc. \n\n5. Arrange for a valuation of the Estate. This will include the house (if owned or partly owned by the deceased) together with its contents, other personal effects, investments in savings plans, stocks and shares, life policies, building societies etc. Draw up a detailed  list of all the Testator's assets. \n\n6. Draw up a list of debts that must be paid from the proceeds of the Estate. These will include mortgages, any income and capital gains taxes, bills, credit cards, loans and overdrafts. \n\n7. Complete the forms required by the Inland Revenue Capital Taxes Office so that it can be established whether any Inheritance Tax is due.\n\n8. Complete the probate forms and send or take them to the Probate Office along with the original Will, the death certificate and the Inland Revenue account.\n\n9. Provided that the case is fairly straightforward, an appointment will be made for the personal representative to 'swear the papers' within about 5 - 6 weeks of receipt at the Probate Office \n\n10. When Inheritance Tax is due the Executor's account of the Estate is passed to the Inland Revenue and the Grant of Probate cannot be issued until the tax is paid. There will be circumstances where part of the Estate has to be sold to pay Inheritance Tax and if this is the case banks can arrange loan facilities to pay the tax straight away. \n\n11. Copies of the Grant of Probate should be sent to everyone who owes money to the Estate. You now as Executor have a legal authority to pursue any debts owing to the Estate. \n\n12. When the Grant of Probate is received, the Estate can be divided according to the terms of the Will. The Executor must prepare and sign accounts showing who has received what from the distribution. They must be able to show that they acted in accordance with the terms of the  Will in case there is any dissent from the family of the deceased. \n\n13. All papers, including the Grant of Probate and the accounts must be stored safely for a period of 12 years.\n\n\nAs you can see, it all takes quite a long time and it would be most imprudent to tell beneficiaries about their expectations under the will before you have sorted out debts owed by the estate, especially taxes. Once this has been done, then you can begin to pay out the specific legacies, but the residuary legatee (the one who stands to inherit what is left in the estate when all debts have been paid) won't know until you have drawn up the final accounts what he or she is getting.\n\nThere are some simple guides on being an executor obtainable and it would be a good idea to get one.

Have you tried the newspapers that would have had his obituary published within a week of this death?  They usually have a photo.  The local library where you are could help you with some research assistance.  You should also contact the coroners office.  You're lucky because 23 years is not a long time & you should have better luck than most people finding something.  There should be some public record photos that may take a court order to get, like his Drivers Liscense photo.

I'm not sure of where Humble is. Our family is from a very small town in the Hill Country. Mom-in-law has shown us lots of different grave sites outside the traditional cemetery. Some are her distant relatives. She says that long ago, before the traditional cemetery's, people would bury their deceased family members on their property. Are the headstones legible? Take a piece of paper, place it flat over the headstone and rub a crayon or pencil over it. If the name is legible, take it to city hall or chamber of commerce, they may be able to trace the property owners. Even if you cannot read the headstones, you should report this to the authorities. Someone out there may be wondering where some family is buried. Also they used to bury people who died while traveling. We have one headstone there and all it says on it is "MEXICAN", no name at all. Do the right thing, and let someone know about your find.
