Do I need a Final Return for my Father?

My father is in hospice care, which will probably last a few weeks before he passes away. He receives SS of $2700, and my mother receives $750. In addition, he has about $4,000 of income. He has not been filing returns, since he is below the limit. He has a negligible estate, that all goes to my mother. What happens on his death? Even though he is below the filing limit, do we need to file a final return?
