a question for the Mormons

8. I Have No Wisdom For You

Mormon or legal, except to say I sense your consternation as to what to do at this juncture.

Seems most odd (to me, at least) that anyone (Mormon or other) would take it upon themselves to perform some (religious) ritual after a person has passed, unless that (passed-on) person requested same in a will or in some other legal instrument.

Also, what possible 'permission' could you give or offer (to give) that would be meaningful to anyone...other than to those (meaning, your aunt) whom this ritual is even necessary?

Further, what happens if she (your aunt) proceeds as she sees fit, even if you never respond...what jeopardy would she incur and how would anyone (especially in their church) even know what transpired between her (your aunt) and anyone else...unless she (your aunt) requests some form of legal instrument (from you) that might be presented to the church (elders)?

Sadly, like I said, I have no real wisdom for you (or for myself either).
