Get the smelling salts for Miss Manners!

I was reading the obituaries in the newspaper recently, and I came across this "suggestion" in one of them:

"For flowers the family requests individuals call Rosetree Florist in Waco."

Does that strike you as a bit nervy? Not only are they expecting flowers, but they're telling you where to buy them. Are we now doing gift registries for dead people? I think Miss Manners might have a conniption fit over that one.
