There is a hearing scheduled for the funeral home debt at the end of November. If my grandmother's house does not sell by then, what may happen? What can I do? Am I personally responsible for her debt?

Don't consider this legal advice, but this sounds like something you should be able to negotiate without a court being involved, but it depends on a number of legal factors, including other heirs, how the estate was probated (if it was), and of course, the state you're in.
