What recourse is there when I am dead and my family can't find where I put the trezor?

Maybe there are solutions but that's what I like about paper wallets. [...]

I want to make sure it isn't too hard for family to recover the funds if a meteorite squishes my house tomorrow (which would destroy a trezor too).

You can write down the seed on a piece of paper. This way it has the same quality as a paper wallet in terms of security. Both papers will probably contain instructions on how to redeem the funds so I think I can call it a solution. ;c) The difference is that the seed is "dynamic". You change its balance without touching it. At every moment it contains all your coins.
