Funerals

[Jamgirl01]

My mother in law died recently and my in laws want her funeral on my dead sons birthday. I think they are being really insensitive as he was only 6 months old when he died. Is it me overreacting or am I right to totally not agree with what they are doing?

I haven’t expressed my thoughts with them as I don’t want to cause trouble at this horrible time for them. (I never got on with my mother in law.)

They want it on that day or that’s the day they’ve been offered? We recently lost FIL & DGM & the funeral directors (different ones) told us the day they could do it, we didn’t really get to choose.

I’m sorry for your loss I know you’d like to think in-laws would be aware of the significance of the date for you but is it possible they haven’t registered that it’s the date of your DS birthday?

They chose this date, and yes they do know it’s his birthday. I suppose they thought it was a ‘nice’ thing to do.😞
