RATING DETAILS

The source of the information is presumably the family or funeral home, which is typical for obituaries. However, there is no explicit citation or attribution, resulting in a neutral score.
The article clearly provides the necessary details such as the date and place of death, family members, and funeral arrangements. There are no apparent conflicts of interest, but the source of the obituary is not disclosed.
