A small rant, please forgive me... Mum died on Valentines day this year. It was awful. Then the coroner held on to her body for nearly 4 weeks before they contacted us to tell us that they& #39;re performing an inquest but releasing her body for a funeral...
They delay was just because the Tory& #39;s have reduced the number of licensed coroner& #39;s in the UK apparently so they& #39;re serving a larger catchment area, not because her death was unusual...
By the time they released her body and issued us with a Temporary Death Certificate, we had days to arrange a funeral. During this time the pandemic kicked off. We were expecting about 60 people there, we had to uninvite everyone and there were 5 of us there...
Now we still haven& #39;t heard from the funeral home regarding her ashes. We don& #39;t have the permanent death certificate and don& #39;t have a clue when we might get it. And on top of that, the solicitor that is holding Mum& #39;s original Will won& #39;t mail it to us...
Because they don& #39;t want to go to the post office right now.
I don& #39;t blame them at all, but it& #39;s as if this sh*t couldn& #39;t be any harder. We contacted the Probate office and they said they can& #39;t help, it& #39;s up to us what we do...

So we can& #39;t secure Mum& #39;s accounts, or her house or anything. And to top it off, for the the past year we& #39;ve been talking to the Doctors about Mum& #39;s health regularly, questioning them when they told us she was fine, because now she& #39;s dead and they clearly missed something.
