Illinois changed the law I guess a few months ago and it is done on line and the funeral home said it now takes several weeks to get certified copy of death certificate.

A power of attorney generally terminates when the person dies. Beyond that, there is not enough information in your question to give you a decent answer. I suggest that you consult an attorney directly. He or she can obtain the necessary information to help you.
