When my first wife died I was amazed at how difficult it is to check out. I needed countless official death certificates for probate, life insurance, pension, auto titles even my kids college. Without an official finding this woman won’t have death certificates. I’m very sorry for her anguished decision.

Speaking of death certificates, I was livid with Forest Lawn (they'd taken over another mortuary that went bankrupt, so we were 'pre-paid stuck') after my Mom died.....they held one back - that I'd paid for - so they could send it to the insurer so THEY'd get paid.

When I got my seven copies, I got on the horn to the regional manager, tore her a new a-hole, and had the additional copy hand delivered the next day.

I can't say enough bad about Forest Lawn.
