My dad waa isted as the executor in a friends will but the will was quiet on the funeral plans. The dead guy had no next of kin.
Now the crematory won't go get his body or issue a death certificate without paperwork from the court but I know that any succession proceeding is going to require a death certificate.

Uh, being cremated.
Nobody wants to do anything w/o someone to pay for it. No next of kin gets them worried.

If your dad is the executor, he must enter succession, get a death certificate, and pay all debts if sufficient funds exist. If the deceased didn't have a burial policy or did not add your father to his existing bank accounts before his death, the first step is to hire a lawyer to get financial access to his accounts. To be the executor you have to put up some of your own security to be held until succession is closed. It's usually a reduced amount (a few hundred) unless the estate is large.
It's no fun. Usually executors get a fee for the headaches.
