That's a very real issue indeed. Sorry for your loss.

But I think the right solution here would be for Facebook to have a way of handling deceased people, not giving your password to everyone in case of sudden death.

They do. If someone contacts Facebook and let's them know that a person has died (with some sort of verification), they will memorialize the account.
