Excerpt from “Why Knot?” Buy the book at Amazon
Obituary notices are almost always printed in hard-to-read type, smaller than anything else in the newspaper. Considering that the elderly, many of whom have failing eyesight, frequently consult that part of the paper, that policy seems inconsiderate, even brutal. Newspapers could and should print death notices in larger type than the rest of the paper to make the information accessible by those who most need and want to read it.
