Cattermole Funeral Home apparently is comfortable platforming libel in the obituaries that they host, and when other family members complain, they refuse to listen, act defensive and not accommodating, do not return phone calls, or cannot be reasonable at all. They give endless horrible excuses about how only the "next of kin" decides the obituary's content; then when other next of kin object they move the goalposts and say only the "person in charge" (a.k.a. the person who originally wrote the obituary) decides. No, the person in charge is the owner and he has now ignored the objections of myself, my mother and my aunt after we were very upset and distressed by the contents of an obituary written without our input, and horrifically misconstruing events to a level amounting to libel. I made it very clear we weren't asking to re-write everything, just to remove the one incredibly offensive and untrue paragraph (I have proof and many witnesses) and they still refuse. They also won't allow anyone else to comment on the obituary sharing their story, but the original author is allowed to post libel on Cattermole's website all she wants, apparently. Horrible to enable people to use an obituary of all things to platform their libelous claims, while shutting out all other relatives from the process. read more
