So insulting.
I came across a woman who was identified only as "Mrs. John Smith" *in her own obituary* and I am still mad about it.

Highly recommend this obituary essay that draws on an interview Frederick Wiseman did with his future obit writer. Got to interview him few times myself. Bristled with an impish intellect in person. Watched all of almost all his films, some of them many times.
