My dead mother-in-law
my wife's mother died 11 years or so ago. She had cancer, all very tragic, blah blah blah.

What was a good giggle for my missus for a good while after her mother shuffled off this mortal coil was when sales people rang the house, looking for the dearly departed.

The conversation would normally go:
Sales person : "Hi, can I speak to Mrs. xxx?"
Wifey: "Sure,, but you'll need a shovel"
Sales person "Eh? Why?"
Wifey "She's dead"
Sales person "..."

Ahh I remember similar with the then NTL. Mum died, I wrote and told them. About three times. I also called. The last letter from them threatened to take her to court for non payment - I called up (again) and told them to go ahead, as she'd been dead for x months. Never heard from them after that.
