More details to this question:
The check was written by a foundation for me when my daughter was in hospice. The check didn’t get sent until after my daughter passed away. The foundation wrote the check to my child. How can I cash this check so I can use the funds to finish paying on her plot and payback the loans I took for funeral?

You must open an estate for your child. The cost of this may be more than the check amount, even if you are able to use a Small Estate Affidavit.
