This obituary-related forum serves as the blog for The Society of Professional Obituary Writers. Please join in the discussion with and ask questions of folks who write about the dead for a living, and others, who study, enjoy, read and/or write obituaries.
A North Carolina newspaper explains why it published a paid obituary that neglected to mention the deceased's responsibility for a shooting rampage. Includes links to news stories.

Fascinating issue - and interesting blog. Perhaps the paid for and independently written obits could be in separate parts of the paper - or at least clearly distinct?
(My own experience is in broadcast obits, not print.)
