Today, my mother-in-law asked for a copy of my son's death certificate so she could have her week-long island beach holiday classed as bereavement leave. FML

I haven't read all the comments yet but thank you for your condolences. This is indeed the grandmother of my son and no, she didn't take the holiday as a way of grieving - it was purely opportunistic. She wasn't even polite to us at the funeral: her words to me were, "In six months when I get back you'll have forgotten this whole thing ever happened." Very disappointing. Thank you all again. I'll reply again when I get a chance to read some more comments.

Everyone can grieve differently, but that just seems a bit heartless and opportunistic. I'm sorry for your loss OP, I can't imagine how that feels.

I think it's also kind of sad that an employer would ask for this. Can't she just send the obituary? For those who are actually grieving, this seems incredibly sensitive and a lot to ask at a delicate time.

That's what we told her to do and what she ended up doing.

I can't believe how heartless some people can be. Just horrible. Anybody who voted YDI on this one needs their head to be examined.
