The debt will be paid from your estate. If there isn't enough, then the debt is discharged. The debt itself will not pass on to next of kin but a sizable debt might mean none of the deceased's estate does either.
The estate is responsible for the debts. Anyone on the credit card would also be liable for the debt.

If you die, your credit card debt does not automatically transfer to your family or heirs, but it must be settled from your estate. The executor of your estate will use your assets to pay off debts, including credit card balances. If your estate doesn’t have enough assets to cover the debt, it typically goes unpaid, and creditors cannot pursue family members for the remaining balance. However, joint account holders or co-signers may be responsible for the debt.
If person dies with debt, the debt does not die with them and their creditors have the right to be repaid from the deceased's estate. The executors of the estate need to be aware of any debts in order that they can deal with them. If there is no estate, or if the debts are relatively small, creditors may well write off the debt. If any debts are in joint names, the surviving partner will remain liable for the debt.

Your estate pays your debts after you die. If there is not enough, tought luck for the creditors. The only way for the debt to be passed along is if there is some contractual obligation on the part of another person. Such things would be co-signing for a loan, joined owned credit cards, joint owned loans (such as a house), etc.

You should name your country, In England, no, anywhere else, I dont know.
No. The credit card companies will try to get you to pay off your parent's bills but you don't have it. It is all volunteer. I was glad to learn this since my mother is 81.
