AITA for telling my husband he is being highly insensitive

I’m 31 (F) and my 33 (M) husband and I have been married for 10 years. We both have a 5 year old daughter. My mother passed away on December 24 2021 in a car accident that wasn’t her fault. As you can expect, it affected us all really bad. <br><br>My husband has always been a very frugal person and that has caused issues in the past. He will rather save a dollar than have a good time. I’m going to get straight to the point. He wants to bury her remains in a cheaper cemetary (I understand that it’s expensive but I don’t think it should be that big of a deal for him). He doesn’t want me flying my siblings because it’s too expensive. Now, he told me we will not be having a funeral service at the funeral home, but at our house instead. It doesn’t really bother me that much but the frustrating part is he’s trying to convince me to do all of this by making it seem as I’m being selfish because we will be spending that money on something that is already gone. We make good income and I don’t think it would break the bank at all. Honestly it feels like he’s trying to punish me because I’m upset over his frugality. I tried explaining how it’s a little tone deaf what he’s saying but he insists he’s right justifying that the money can go into our daughter’s saving account. Should I just let him have his way? He’s been making me feel like an ah for wanting to say my goodbyes in the best way that I can.<br><br>Edit: I should mention that we did discussed what kind of funeral my mom wanted and where she would want to be buried. I’m just following her wishes.
