If a Vet, try Dept of Defense for death, burial records and markers.

Do you know what mortuary buried him?  They may have a copy of his 
separation document since the government will pay a small amount towards 
burial.  If you are successful in getting a copy of that document, you can 
use it to apply at the post office for a commemorative flag.  If nieces and 
nephews are the only living relatives of his, wouldn't they be legal heirs? 
Did he have a closer legal heir when he died?  That person may have a copy 
of that document.

Good luck!
