I was wondering the same thing. My husband and I separated (although not legally) and we never divorced. The family knew we were still legally married, and knew how to get in touch with me, but they did not notify me of his death. They had him cremated without my consent and put "divorced" on the death certificate. Is this legal?

No it is illegal. Penalty for doing so is dependent on individual state statutes. Penalties may include, but are not limited to jail time and large fees.

It is certainly not legal to intentionally falsify a government document under most circumstances.
