Husband passes away can’t get into phone

How can I turn off Face ID on my iPhone 11. I’m unable to turn off the stolen device as well. This phone was my husbands phone and he has passed away.

First, I'm sorry for your loss. Do you know the Apple Account and Password your husband used to set up the phone? If no, you can't reset the phone yourself.
