Headstone dispute
When my father died he left no will and had no money or assets he did have an insurance policy for �500 that went towards the cost of his funeral. The total cost was just over �2,000 which his ex wife (the divorce papers went through one week before he died ) and two children paid. He is buried in a counsil cemetery in Scotland,the plot was bought 10 years ago by him and his now ex wife as a double plot for the two of them and she still wishes to be buried there when her time comes. Now my aunt (my fathers sister) has ordered and paid for a headstone but has not included ours or my fathers dads names on it can we stop the headstone from being erected until this problem has been resolved.

I am not sure why you need your name on the stone, why is she not putting ' loving husband , father, son and brother' on it? It is not usual to put anyone else's name on a stone unless it is say, mary, wife of John Smith' or mary, daughter of mary and Ann Smith' but actrually even that is more of an ancient style now.
Ring the local authority and ask their advice.

Thanks dot.hawkes
The reason she is interfering is because she is blaming our mother for his death because of the divorce (he died of cancer) but he was still dearly loved by all of us. And all his
sister is trying to put on the headstone is , his name, son of, his mothers name, Like he never had no one, All we want is like you said loving husband , father, son and brother', that would be fine.
Once again i thank you and everyone for their kind replies
