[quote=Anonymous]Hi! I just lost my aunt who I was very close with. My in-laws always come together to support when one of their own lose a relative. The last 3 years the family has had a huge burden with hospital and funeral related expenses and since DH and I have been very supportive, I know that they will be planning amongst themselves to give our family a contribution through me. The thing though is I would not want to receive any contribution from my in-laws for a couple of reasons but one of it being I feel this is "my family's problem" and I don't want a strings attached kind of a contribution. How do I politely hint that we don't want any $$? The donation to charity wouldn't fly with them - cos sorry to say they would want to donate where they can show off and be recognized. Do I say everything in terms of expenses is covered and it's a very low key funeral/burial when they send their condolences with "we will support you guys?" Thank you in advance. [/quote]
