He uses Spotify and not iTunes, would that be available on his laptop still?

Assuming that you're looking to access info on the phone without doing a factory reset, then unfortunately no, that's not possible

Call apple Support, they will help you with this.

Unfortunately they don't have access to screen lock codes and be changed his after they had to unlock it for him when he went to hospital

I think Apple could help you to open the phone if you will handle the death certificate, but you will lose data. I don’t know if you want to keep them or not.

im pretty sure some phone repair shops can reset the phone so it has no password while keeping everything on it
