Start by applying for his service record:
https://www.gov.uk/get-copy-military-service-records/apply-for-someone-elses-records

You won't need a copy of his death certificate, because he died in service.
But there is still a fee of £30.

As for medals, see: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/medals-campaigns-descriptions-and-eligibility#world-war-2-medals

There are 9 different Stars, depending on where he served,and for how long.
Plus Defence Medal, War Medal 1939-1945.
