Hi Vanessa
Quite. That is the point I was trying to emphasize.
Cheers

Hi, next of kin always comes first when registering death as his son that
would be you, his girl friend was not the next of kin, if no next of kin
its the person present at death or person organising the funeral, in the UK
funeral directors are not allowed to register.

Hi all
When my dad died I had to register the death, because I had a better
qualification than his girlfriend, who was present at the death, even
though she tried to. He had no will, otherwise the girlfriend might have
been an executor, but even then I suspect the registrar would have
wanted the next of kin to do it, unless there was a good reason why not
(eg being abroad). Funeral Directors would not have a qualification as
such to register a death.
