[quote=Anonymous]First, I’m very sorry for your loss, OP.

We had a situation somewhat similar to this.  My spouse’s sibling drastically edited the obit my spouse had written for the funeral home. It wasn’t worth arguing about it. My spouse posted some great pictures and the full obit he had written on Facebook and received a lot of feedback from friends and relatives who very kindly shared their own reminiscences of his parent, which was really nice. He also sent the obit to his parent’s alumni magazine, which was published just as he had written it, no editing.

On another note, I put a lot of time and thought into an obit for my mom, which my sister linked to on her Facebook. When people commented on what a nice obit it was, she just replied thank you, as though she had written it. It doesn’t really matter, but I thought it was an odd occasion to take credit for someone else’s writing.

OP, consider writing the obit you’d like to see and post it on Facebook. You’d be surprised how many people will end up seeing it and appreciate learning more about your dad’s life.[/quote]
