In recent relationships beyond the grave, some people are finding that it is not easy to cancel accounts of deceased loved ones.

Questions:

  1. According to the article stories, which one did you find to be the most ridiculous?
  2. Why do you think these particular entities had such ridiculous answers to the issue of death?
  3. Which department of a company should address these unfortunate answers to loved ones of a deceased person?
