How to get a deceased person's name off car title if you've moved to a different state?

I can’t remember if I asked this before but…

I have moved to State B and no longer live in State A.

I went to the DMV in state b to get my deceased husband’s name off the car title and have mine put on and to get a new car title. However…they refused to do so because they said I needed to go back to state A and do it there. This answer was kind of odd to me. Why would I go back when I no longer live there?

Yes, I showed them the death certficate but they still said no.

Isn’t there any way to take care of this without having to go back to my old state?
