Long story.
The jist of it is that her ex died at home in Oz and she thinks his body should be flown back to the UK for a funeral so that their son can attend. The alternative would be to take thier son over to Oz - on the inlaws expense most likely - for a funeral there.
She's worried that her ex's parents will try to hold onto their grandson if she takes him over there - I can't tell if this is paranoia or a possibility.
There will also be a secular memorial here in the UK.

Thanks for your responses. We have decided to suggest that she must discuss it with her ex-in-laws and we won't get involved! It's hard because we want to do the right thing by her son, but best to let them sort it out.

A funeral shouldn't revolve around a child it should be about what the deceased wanted... end of story!

Unless she is an unfit mother they have no claim over the grandson. She can relax and let them pay.

I say keep it simple. if she wants the body flown back then make her and only her pay for it.

let her do as she wishes.....support her right now, that's all she needs from you. Try to put yourself in her shoes. Don't try & make her do something she doesn't feel happy doing.....

Let her do what she feels best. If it's meant to be it will happen.
