Why I tend to dislike my family

I second Ann Onimous’ statement about the weirdness of obituary sections. Some charge by the word after a certain number of words, some charge by the word after a certain number of survivors are listed, some will not list anyone except blood relatives (regardless of the length of relationship), some will not list anyone after the first-degree relatives…

I’m so sorry for your loss.

All meaningless. Print your own if its that important. Say he went to Mars if you want.

Please don’t dislike your family for this, the various agencies one has to deal with after a death can be really forceful in how THEY want to do things and the bereaved sometimes don’t have the strength to insist on what they want.
