> passed away / passed on ... native English speakers

Native English speaker here. I've told my wife and kids that my obituary is to say simply that I died, not that I passed away, or passed on, or crossed over, or went to meet my Lord and Savior (a common formulation in the South), or anything like that.

(My wife's response: "You won't be here; I'm going to do what I want.")
