Well, looking at it from that standpoint (if it were my mother's dying wish), I'd have to make an adult decision. Yes, I'd want to be accepted as a sister (esp being an only child), but I could never fix my mouth to ask this family to bury my mother next to their father. Oh, and when I take my children to see her site, what am I supposed to say? **"mommy, who's that man next to grandma?"** ---"oh, that's my father, your granddaddy."---"and mommy, who is that lady, one of our cousins?"---- "oh no dear, that's his WIFE." Uh uh, no way.
On the other side, I haven't seen the episode (now I'm dying to see it), but I would've told her no, among a few other things.
