Does the Raven Queen replace Myrkul?

I'm confused on the relationships between Raven Queen and Myrkul. They sound like they have a very similar job description - they both are the one you see when you die, and they both like to scare people about that.
Can there be two gods of the same domain? Perhaps Raven Queen takes elvish dead and Myrkul takes human dead?
(This is specific to 5e)

5e doesn't give a lot of lore about the mysterious Raven Queen. 4e Gave us the origin story, how she took power after killing nerull.
I've "heard" other DMs say online that Myrkul cuts the actual thread, but the Raven Queen deals with the fate of lost souls and the Shadowfell. I personally just use the Raven Queen as the goddess of death, and don't bother with Myrkul or Kelemvor.
