Can I unlock a deceased members iPhone

Similar questions

Is it possible to clear all data off a deceased person's iPhone using a computer? I have a deceased family member's iPhone in my possession. I do not have their Apple ID passcode or password. Can I clear all data from their iPhone by plugging it into a computer and using iTunes? I do not need access to the phone and do not want to use it in any way, so it's fine if it becomes locked. I just want to clear all their data from it. I am aware that Apple has an article addressing how to access a deceased family member's data (https://support.apple.com/en-us/102431) but this requires court documentation. I just want to ensure their privacy and clear everything off of it if possible, even if it's unlikely anyone would be able to recover anything off of it without their credentials. Thanks!
