Be unobtrusive. It is not about you. If the family approaches you, fine. Otherwise, follow the lead of other non-family members of the group. If you were close to his mom, a small floral arrangement or offering to a designated charity would be appropriate. In situations like this, less rather than more is nearly always appropriate.

As warm as you feel if you are both still single. If remarried, warm with reserve. With the surviving spouse , as warm and kind as you genuinely feel.New spouses must be excruciatingly polite and civil.This is not the time or place for any rancorous feelings, no matter what. Best behavior out of respect for the deceased.

Who pays for a funeral of a parent with one adult child and no will?

A will makes no difference other than to indicate if the deceased parent left funds either money or life insurance to pay the cost of their funeral. They are still you're parent, so the adult child should pay, that is the moral stance. However, legally, the children do not have the funds to pay for the funeral, then they can ask the government for help. Most governments usually will provide for the cost of a basic funeral for a deceased, if that deceased left no means from their estate to meet their own funeral costs.

Who inherits in an intestate estate in South Africa?

It depends. If the deceased had a spouse (or if he was in a polygamous marriage) but if he had no descendants, the spouse (or spouses) will inherit the estate. If there are only descendants but no spouses, then it will be they who inherit the estate. In case there are both spouse(s) and descendants, the spouse will receive R125 000 and the balance will go to the children. Also, if there are neither descendants nor spouses, the parents (or one parent and the other descendants of that parent) will split the estate equally.
