For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.All death certificates are in the public domain but no online service has any better access to them than the general public do. So, if you use an online service to obtain one, you'll end up paying extra for something that you could have done yourself directly anyway.
There's no way of doing it for free though. The charge for issuing a copy of a death certificate is £11, plus £3 for searching for it. (You can avoid the £3 search fee if you've got the 'GRO index reference number' but the only free online search facility to get that number currently doesn't go past 1992):

>>> I think you can see them free, if you are on Ancestry.uk
No you can't. Individual birth, marriage and death certificates aren't available in digital format, Ancestry UK only provides a search facility to find GRO index reference numbers, which are based upon the information that's available for free (but doesn't go past 1992 anyway) on FreeBMD:

You still need to order and pay for certificates via my link above.

If you know the locality where the death was registered, try a phone call to the relevant Register Office, to see if they can advise you on the way forward:

(Note: If the person died in hospital, in a different local authority area to where they lived, it will be the Register Office serving the hospital's locality, not the home locality of the deceased, that you'll need to contact).

No.
We only found out because the council sent a letter to my sister about his pension because she was down as the next of kin. They then sent a letter apologising for the first letter because they then found out he married a few days before his death.
So I assume the gold-digger wants the pension too.
