It depends on who the funeral home and/or the cemetery recognizes as "next of kin". If his grandmother paid for the funeral, who bought the gravesite? Who ever paid for the gravesight is the "owner" of that asset and then headstone company has to take direction from that person as to the placement of the stone.
