I had the following conversation with the AA when my father-in-law died.

Me: Hello, I'm calling to advise you of the death of one of your members
AA: Can I have your name sir?
Me: DJBrenton
AA: And is it you that's the member sir?
Me: No, the member is DJBrentons FinLaw. I'm calling to cancel the membership
AA: I'm afraid I can only cancel the mebership if I speak to the member concerned
Me: Well that will be difficult as he's dead.
AA: Well I can't just take your word for that
Me: So you'll need to speak to the member in order to cancel his membership?
AA: Yes.
Me: You need to speak to the dead man in order to ascertain that he is dead?
AA: Er.
