I’ve been executor for 5 wills; my parents, an aunt and uncle, and a first cousin. In each instance I called the SSA within 2 business days to report the deaths. In each instance the SSA Rep thanked me and then told me they already recorded the deaths.

No big deal..
"Funeral homes generally tell us when someone dies," the SSA said on its website. "So, you don't typically need to report a death to us." In instances when a funeral home is not involved or did not alert the SSA about the death, the individual calling on behalf of the deceased should provide the agency with the deceased's name, birthday, date of death and Social Security number, it said.”
