iPhone repair

I’m sending a phone in to be repaired, I am unable to erase the device prior, because the display is illegible. Will this cause problems?

If you think there's a possibility it can still turn on and connect to the internet, try erasing it via iCloud.

how do i erase my device if my display doesn't work? My iphone XS Max display broke. I got a replacement through my insurance, but I can't figure out how to erase my broken device to send it back in. The instructions all say to find it in iTunes or Find My and erase, but that isn't a clear option. Help!
