I wouldn't think she could take out an insurance policy on him without him knowing about it, but maybe. The funeral home has been instructed NOT to give anyone but me a copy of the death certificate. It's a small town funeral parlor that's been family owned and operated for generations . . . . almost reminded me of the one on Six Feet Under, but neither of the brothers was gay and it was either Mom or a sister doing the billing. I imagine they can get one from the state, but not sure they can do that this soon after the death . . . . think you have to get it from the funeral home for some length of time - at least that's the impression I got from the funeral guy and it was created from the form he filled out before he removed the body. Then again, maybe this guy is just proving my point that he's pretty stupid . . . . . not smart enough to know if he can get a copy himself or too cheap to pay the $10 for it.
Either way, that sister is in for a rude awakening . . . . and it's coming real soon.
And Brian, that's exactly what the family thinks of this guy . . .
