Sure.
It's certainly easier to love some of your relatives more once they are dead; and it's also easier to say that, because the person isn't around to contradict or embarrass you. This might be why you have associated the term with relatives who have passed on.But people write "to our beloved boss" "to our beloved friend", it always appears in funeral.....I thought this word should be used when people passed away
