In most countries you can not do this because it is not legal to cash a check made out to a deceased person.
What needs to be done is that the executor of the deceased estate must obtain from a court a grant of probate for the deceased estate and, with is legal document, write to the supplier of the check and ask them to re-issue the check in the name of the deceased heirs.

This is a difficult question to answer without knowing more information. Were you the Executor of the deceased's parent estate? Was the will probated? Who's name (or names) was the account in? Were the assets in the account addressed in the will? Is this question asking for a 'legal" opinion, OR, is it asking for an 'ethical' opinion? The above, while admittedly NOT a direct answer to the question, should give the questioner some "food for thought."
