I've got a friend whose husband turned up dead yesterday morning. She was estranged from him, hadn't seen him in a couple of years, and was actually trying to find a lawyer who would help her get rolling on a divorce.
She is effectively broke, living with her parents, and her husband was a vagrant with no money. She's getting a lot of pressure from his friends to claim the body and have a funeral, but everything we've found says just cremating him is already prohibitively expensive, nevermind holding services. On top of that, the coroner implied that she would not be able to get a Death Certificate unless she claimed the body, which sounded massively suspect to me.
Basically, anyone been in this situation before, or have some advice? She can't and doesn't want to pay for a funeral, but she wants the Death Certificate.
