Old Aunty of my late husbands. Never met her.
She just said She thought my mil was selfish and spiteful for taking Dh’s ashes back to his country to be buried with his father.
Firstly it was my decision, mil didn’t ask.
He loved his country, wouldn’t wanted to have been buried here
Secondly, there’s more people there that will visit the grave
Thirdly, my son and I wouldn’t visit a grave, we talk to him whenever we feel like it.
And lastly mil isn’t even In that country, she lives some where else, so it’s not like she wanted it for herself.
So do ignore, or try to explain
She’s my mil’s sil, no love lost between them

I am always so saddened by people who in response to something rude/ mean / upsetting resort to responding with something rude / mean or upsetting.

This Aunt thought the mil was out of order so wrote something mean. Some posters want OP to do exactly the same by sending a nasty email to point out the Aunt is out of order .... Surely that would make tbe OP exactly like the Aunt!

Thankfully OP shows no sign of being like this.

I am interested in the ancestry stuff she sent, some was relevant but some was just people with the same name, completely different years.

I’ll just go back to her with concise response.
She’s asked about mil, doubtful they’d ever be in contact now.
