A death in the family is never easy for the family and for a family business it can be even worse depending on how much preparation there was to carry on the business not to mention taxes, creditors, etc.

Perhaps, since they seemed to have had a backlog of work already the family should/could have suspended further orders until they were able to deal with things appropriatley and fully with regards to the move and completing those orders already taken and paid for?

Hopefully they will get things turned around and continue production for many years to come.
