I have offered to take this conversation offline , maybe worth sharing with your comms team.

@mjhs01.bsky.social your hospice was looking after my fathers wife but you allowed her children to take her body away before informing him (2 doors away) she passed away and he didn’t say goodbye. He is a 90 year old good man & is trying to phone you to find out where they have taken her body.
