    Why is it surreal, because it’s not written by a family member? Or because they don’t actually say he died?

      I think it’s because it’s an obituary of “Ronnie Thompson” shared from a facebook account called “Ronnie Thompson Funeral Directors”. I think that’s all

        Oh, I missed that. I’m not sure I’d call that surreal though. It’s probably weirder to me that they don’t explicitly say that he owned the business “and served the community with compassion and dedication” or some fluff like that.

          He did, which IMO is what makes it more surreal because that’s the business owner but they published the obituary like it was anyone else.
