Thanks for the tip that one should register a loved one’s death within five days in order to be given a certificate of registration before having a burial. I also find it helpful that you said that and find a funeral service that is a member of the NAFD or SAIF to ensure a person that they can provide quality and friendly service. Using these tips, I will look for a local service this week to get my aunt’s son buried. That way, our entire family can accept his death and be able to live with his memory of being a cheerful flute-player.
