Atticus' Legacy Review of Cricket's closing account process after someone dies = 5/10

Cricket gets okay marks for Atticus' Legacy Review of their closing account process after someone dies, as their process is mostly hassle free. They don't however post their policy anywhere accessible on the web, and it seems that their process is mostly aided by the fact that they are a month-to-month carrier. With so many of their clients being seniors, we expected more from Cricket wireless. Hopefully, after receiving this less than perfect mark they'll write one for their clients.
