Re: tragic accident wife died, husband on life support
If the problem is for mother's cremation, then the mortuary should look to next of kin. Providing the son can show the current husband is incapacitated, the mortuary should accept this to make arrangements. Anything other than that would require a Conservatorship.
We can do some research, but that is an off-the-cuff immediate response.
