In order to prevent identity theft, fraud, or unwanted recurring payments, cancel or freeze the deceased's credit cards.

Call the customer service phone number listed on the back of credit cards, but in case the card(s) is not available, use the links below to find more information about the cancellation process.

Typically, they will ask for a copy of the Death Certificate and other personal information from the deceased, such as social security number and / or address.

Note: any service or subscription paid for by the frozen or cancelled card will be disrupted, so be careful to follow up as needed.
