post-obit

What a thing that post-obit had turned out!

From Checkmate by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu

I propose that you execute in my favor a post-obit on your uncle's life, giving me—well, we may have to wait a long time.

From Running Water by A. E. W. (Alfred Edward Woodley) Mason

Here, wealthy misers to inter,   We've shrouds of neat post-obit paper; While, for their heirs, we've _quick_silver,   That, fast as they can wish, will caper.

From The Complete Poems of Sir Thomas Moore Collected by Himself with Explanatory Notes by William Michael Rossetti

I won't leave the place till I've set things right—not if I've got to give him a post-obit for five thousand—I won't!—Nobody there?

From Stephen Archer and Other Tales by George MacDonald

Here misers may their bones inter In shrouds of neat post-obit paper; While, for their beirs, we've quicksilver, That, fast as heart can wish, will caper.
