Advice needed

[typicaltuesdaynight]

Hi I'm after a bit of advice as it's quite complex. My brother died suddenly on Monday he taught abroad and lives in a different country from his wife and child, he had flown out 2 weeks ago to spend his inner holidays with his wife and son. Sadly he took unwell on Sunday and died quite suddenly on Monday. I've been in touch a lot with my sister in law obviously to offer her support . His funeral
Is this Sunday , I'm unable to go as my elderly dad doesn't want to me to leave hi to watch the funeral on live stream on his own.
The post Mortem was getting done on Tuesday but no result as yet.
My question is is my brother is a uk citizen will we need to register his death in the uk? We don't have any paper work at all as it's all out in n Africa where he passed away,
Also how can there be a funeral when there has been on cause of death determined yet?
Sorry for long post im in shock that this has happened to my healthy brother . Just looking for advice as I don't know 🤷‍♀️ f im meant to do anything

I'm sorry for your loss op. What a shock.

Has anyone informed the British Embassy in the country? Presumably the authorities there would. Could you contact them and ask for information?

So sorry to hear that you lost your brother so suddenly. You can still have the funeral before the cause of death is established. The coroner issues an interim death certificate whilst they conduct their investigations which enables you to instruct a funeral director and make arrangements

I'm so sorry about your brother's sudden death.
What a terrible shock.
Funerals can be held before a cause of death is established.

You don't need to register his death here.

Do you want to go to the funeral? Because from my personal experience you'll regret it if you don't just to appease your Dad.

Thanks for the replies . My sister in law has been to the British consulate today and everything dealt with .
I really wanted to go to
Funeral but to
