I'm sure it depends on each state's laws, but most deaths are never seen by a coroner unless it involves a crime or other pressing reason why the exact cause of death needs to be known. In my state, a non-crime related death where the patient is under a doctor's care, either in the hospital or at home, nearly never involves a coroner (medical examiner in my state). The funeral home simply comes and picks up the person and takes them to the funeral home. Even that is not a real requirement, just what is most commonly done. You can keep the person at home for the 48 hour waiting period and then bury them or have them cremated (can't cremate them yourself).

Your dad is charged with a felony will his life insurance not pay out if he dies?

IF a person dies WHILE Committing a FELONY, the policy will not pay out when he dies. I'm not sure if DUI counts in this answer...I think it may depend... if they hit someone and it was manslaughter it would not pay. IF they were driving while intoxicated and someone hit them ...I'm not sure...it may depend on the coroner report. However I can say that if someone was robbing a bank, or opened a crackhouse and was shot by police while in the act of trying to apprehend the person...the claim would not be paid.

Who completes death certificate when someone dies at home?

When someone dies at home, the death certificate is typically completed by the attending physician who was responsible for the patient's care leading up to their death. If there is no attending physician available, a medical examiner or coroner may be called to investigate the circumstances of the death and complete the certificate. In some cases, a family member or designated representative may also assist in gathering necessary information for the certificate.
