Some families of Humboldt Broncos bus crash victims are surprised to learn that error-riddled obituaries of their loved ones have been posted on a website that’s selling flowers, as well as online memorial candles, and that the site isn’t donating the money.

Eleven of the 16 people who died when the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League team’s bus and a semi collided April 6 are listed on the Everhere website, which calls itself one of North America’s largest databases for obituaries.

But Russell Herold, whose 16-year-old son, Adam, died in the tragedy, says his family never agreed to post the information, which incorrectly lists his son’s place of death as Wolseley, Sask., east of Regina.

That’s approximately 300 kilometres south of where the crash occurred.

“We never gave them permission. It’s obvious when the birthplace and place of death are wrong,” Herold said in an email.

The site’s obituary for Dayna Brons, the team’s athletic therapist, states the 24-year-old died in Lake Lenore, Sask., which was where she went to school, not where she died.
