I know this isn't much consolation, but these are just mass mailings/telemarketers who have no idea of who actually lives at each address/phone number they contact.

Terry and I are not married, and we've started getting mail addressed to "Mr. Hanson." Hanson is my last name and all the "Mr. Hansons" I know live in Wisconsin (my dad and brothers). Terry owns the house and my name is nowhere near the title/deed, but we still get mail addressed to "Hanson Household" and "Hanson Residence" and such. Or the phone calls for "Mrs. Hanson." I always say "she's not here right now" because she's not - my mom is at home, not at my house.

There is no excuse for this person's comment. It was totally out of line. Once they realize there has been a death, they should be sympathetic and say something like "I'm so sorry. I will make a note of it in our records so we don't bother you anymore." or something nice like that.

But for the most part, we are all just anonymous "potential customers" to these people and they could care less about titles.
