Can a sibling who is an executor of a parents estate contact the funeral home and tell them not to allow the other siblings to pay their last respects to their parent before cremation?

In: Estates, Siblings [Edit categories]

Answer:

You have no right to make such a judgement call no matter what the difficulties were in your family. Your siblings have the right to mourn their parent and there is no law that dictates keeping them away to pay their last respects. As angry as you may be or whatever pain or trouble your siblings caused before put your anger aside and realize that this is not about just you, but your parent and your siblings were your parent's children too. Your parent would be ashamed if this squabbling kept going on. Let them see your parent at a certain time of the day and you can visit your parents another time when your siblings are not there. If you are having a Memorial Service concentrate on the loss of your parent and allow your siblings to attend, but other than that you only need to be cordial. If siblings should be drunk or disorderly then you can recommend one or more do not show enough respect to attend the service.
