Death notice
Just remembered this one...

I briefly worked for a newspaper classified ad's department. I dealt with a lot of death/funeral notices. Most of these were done via the undertakers, but some were placed by the relatives themselves.

The standard format for the funeral notice was xxx died, wife/husband/mother/father of xxx, funeral at xxx. Family flowers only please, any donations to xxx to be sent via funeral directors.

I think I was nursing a grade 1 hangover when I proofed, and approved, a notice reading:

Nobody complained, but I was in a perpetual state of cringe for about a week.
