Sorry for your loss.
First, go to bricklink.com. Not only can you sell there (I haven't tried selling there, but I have bought random missing pieces I needed several times from sellers there), but they also list all sets with both current and recent sales prices for both loose and boxed sets. It is a much better pricing resource than relying on ebay.
Second, definitely go with FB marketplace to sell. There are no fees. You listing gets set by your general location, so you are not giving out your address. You can also have the listing open to anyone, so it gives you an ebay type audience. I have had many people overseas ask about stuff. Anyone local I just meet in a public area.
While selling everything individually can be quite tedious, don't go with the bulk sale. You will make so much more putting in the work. For example, the Death Star II is currently selling for $2500 on average for an unopened one. MSRP was $299. There is a lot of that out there for Star Wars legos. If you have the original Cloud City set, 10123, that is worth $5000+ sealed just because of the Boba Fett mini fig.
I have been selling off my collection for over a year now. Started with about 400 sets both boxed and loose/complete. I have sold somewhere around 55-60 sets. Just from those sales I have made about 70% of the total MSRP of all 400 sets. It is worth the effort and if most sets are sealed, it is a lot easier and less time consuming to sell.
