A person dies being who they are. Nothing magically makes them better people just because they died.
If someone is lazy, dirty, selfish and neglectful while alive, it is wrong to write a glowing obituary making up things they did not do, could not do and didn't care to do.
Passing on lies about how they did all those things they talked about, but never really did, is discourteous to the people who knew who they actually were while alive.
Feeding on the attention their death brings you on social media is wrong. Going to their funeral and pretending you were close to them is wrong. Grandstanding for attention is not an honorable thing to do.
People live and people die and they have a right to be credited with the things they actually did -- good or bad.
Nothing more.
Nothing less.
