SUBSCRIBEStill without my father’s proper death certificate
After more than a month after my father’s death in Mumbai, India, the death certificate has already arrived but one crucial information is missing: no cause of death. Without this piece of detail, claims and other important dox and benefits for us surviving family members will just be put on hold. And what adds salt to the wound is that we were told that because of the bureaucratic red tape in that country, we have to wait for another 6 months (hmmm, now its already 4 months) before that data will be available.
Kind of a let down really considering that my mother is hoping to settle all these once and for all and move on. But I guess, we’ll just have to wait for it. Once that piece of document arrives, another thing to contend will be the insurance claims.
