You will first have to prove the child was the deceased. Written evidence or DNA evidence is necessary.

Since his father was cremated, there is no DNA to check, except if the father had a sibling or parent who would be willing to contribute DNA. With that, your DNA and the child's plus affidavits from people who knew he had acknowledged his son, you would have a fairly good chance or proving paternity.
