That's true! But I haven't heard anyone say "my grandma die" and someone respond "that's so sad. Anyways this was my lunch yesterday." And that response would probably be frowned upon right? So of its not the value if life causing the callousness, what's the difference?

It just seems like we're assigning value based on how they died.

Are you intentionally being obtuse? The difference is not the value of their life, but the cause and manner of their death. I said that already.

Grandma didn’t die doing something reckless that could’ve killed other people as well as herself.

So it's not how people are processing grief but instead just mocking a person because of the they died made it acceptable?

I don't see how making fun of someone's death doesn't reflect the value placed on someone's life. Like if life had inherent value you wouldn't mock their death right?
