I've got one. It's horrific from the inside but probably entertaining from the outside.
Cast of characters:
Brother (deceased)
SIL (widow)
Nephew/Nieces (children of Brother)
Mother (mine and Brother's)
Brother died suddenly a few weeks ago. We knew he was in poor health, but he had a massive heart attack that came out of nowhere. SIL is in shock; they'd been married 40 years.
Brother's children are, understandably, hurting, so I'd be inclined to forgive any minor slights. However:
-Nephew/Nieces are already going through SIL's house to clean out Brother's things. I don't know if SIL asked them to do this, but my guess is not. Nephew seems to be angling to move his family in with SIL, because they are currently living for free with his MIL but would probably prefer to live with his mother. This seems like a lot to put on SIL so soon, but she's never been able to say no to her children, so this might be her own doing. (Also, it's somewhat of a tradition in our family to offer small household items to the extended family after death. There are some small things I've given my brother over the years that it would mean the world to me to have back, but that are probably going to Goodwill.)
-Nephew and nieces collaborated on the obituary; no one else was asked. No one outside of SIL, nephew/nieces and their spouses and children were listed as survivors, despite me AND OUR MOTHER both still living. Look, I know it sucks to lose your dad, I was younger than them when I lost mine. It's worse to lose a child.
-Our dad died forever ago. The obit misspelled his name.
-One version of the obit specifically referenced my niece's MLM scam, in an attempt to drum up business?
-"In lieu of flowers, please send memorials to the family." Memorials in this case being a euphemism for cash. SIL is not hurting for cash, and this isn't something where there are large medical bills. Her children may be hurting for cash but if so it's from their own poor behavior.
My mother is LIVID. "I'm not giving them a dime, they're just going to spend it on something stupid."
