It could be as simple as $$$.
In the last three years, I've had to write up and submit obituaries for my older brother and my mom. I don't recall what the out of pocket cost was exactly, but it wasn't cheap. Easily $200-300 each.
Some local funeral homes submit death notices and service time announcements to the newspapers, but around here obituaries cost extra.
