Does the UK not have obituary sections in their newspapers? Or do you have to be "famous/notable" to get one? All of my grandparents have gotten obits in US papers, and none of them were famous or notable or anything.

And if people missed it, I posted Olivia's Fishlove pic here

We could get obituaries in our papers too, but you'd have to pay for space in the newspapers? But the obituary would only have: the name of the deceased, the place of the wake and time of funeral? No write-ups or anything.

I... actually have a higher res version of that pic. lol

A lot of papers don't require families to pay anything for obituaries, but usually they are not more than a paragraph, really. Papers in larger cities, like NYC, for example, probably do charge some fee (I think some papers have gone to putting them online, though, and may not print them at all anymore. Not sure.)

I am unsurprised you have a higher res version of the Fishlove pic, lol. I just grabbed the 1,024px × 1,280px version from their Twitter. It seemed plenty big enough for me. XD But if you wanted to maximize your Olivia graphic options, I guess a larger pic would be better. ;-)
