Next of kin?
Say a trooper comes upon a wreck. The only occupants, an elderly husband and wife, are deceased.
I can see how they could find where you live...but how do they learn the 'next of kin' to notify?

I have an emergency contact associated with my CO drivers license.
ETA: my emergency contact is my wife though, so if we were both dead I don't know.

Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.
Re: Next of kin?
DMV asks if you'd like to list an emergency contact when obtaining an ID/DL. Optional but...

Trooper comes to your house, then starts talking to your neighbors. If nothing there - they take your phone number listed with the house and start playing connect the dots.
Been there. Done that as a recipient in both cases.
What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

There are LEO sources that can provide names, current addresses and phone numbers of people who used to live at the address. So if in your example, the couple lived at a residence for 50 years, the source will show those names. If they just moved into a residence, then it is more difficult to track. If the cell phones (if they had them) are intact, we can find family names there as well. More and more people are on Facebook, which also assists in developing the next of kin.

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
This is a little bit of a threadjack, but another question about how cops know what they know.
I'm sitting at the bar with a few friends, and one of my friend's wives, having some drinks. About an hour in she gets a call on her cell phone sitting at the table, and it's a cop. He says he pulled over a guy for drunk driving, and he has her purse.
Some guy came to our table, and stole her purse. Got pulled over a few miles away for DUI. How in the hell did the cop know her cell phone number? Even if he had her id in the purse? Is there a national database of cell phone numbers attached to each and every one of us?
BTW, this happened at JD's Baitshop, and the cop brought her back her purse.

Do the police assist in the hiring of professional mourners in this situation?

I thought they called the atf to check your gun registration info?
