Child Tax Credit (baby bonus) - yes if you are eligible - based on your tax return
Death Benefit for your father - I don't know. Call and ask.

The "death benefit" is payable to the surviving spouse

1. What are Canada Pension Plan survivor benefits?

Canada Pension Plan survivor benefits are paid to a deceased contributor's estate, surviving spouse or common-law partner and dependent children. There are three types of benefits.

The death benefit is a one-time payment to, or on behalf of, the estate of a deceased Canada Pension Plan contributor;
The survivor's pension is a monthly pension paid to the surviving spouse or common-law partner of a deceased contributor;
The children's benefit is a monthly benefit for dependent children of a deceased contributor.

You will not lose this upon remarrying.
