| | 'Deceased Do Not Contact' list (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) |
 | | The Direct Marketing Association, or DMA, is sponsoring a "Deceased Do Not Contact" list aimed at giving family members a chance to remove the names of deceased loved ones from mass-marketing efforts. |
 | | While the organization doesn't run any kind of background check to verify that a person is deceased, the paper trail created by the $1 credit card charge is designed to prevent anyone from adding names to the list that don't belong there, she says. |
 | | When it comes to getting a telemarketing call or letter for a deceased loved one, there is no typical response, says Bret Beall, an administrative manager for the Association for Death Education and Counseling, an international membership group of organizations dealing with death, dying and bereavement. |
