A:
I'm really sorry you're going through this difficult situation. Losing a loved one is hard enough, and feeling that your aunt isn't honoring your grandpa's wishes adds more pain.
First, gather all the evidence you have, including the video your cousin posted. This can be important if you decide to take further action. Next, reach out to a local attorney who understands California's laws regarding the handling of ashes and wills. They can guide you on the legal steps you might take to address this issue.
Additionally, consider talking to other family members or a mediator who can help facilitate a conversation with your aunt. Sometimes having a neutral party can make discussions more productive. Remember to take care of yourself during this time and seek support from friends or support groups if you need it.
