📝 AITA for calling out my sibling for over possessiveness of our late grandma’s sentimental items?

I have two brothers, and not so recently, we unfortunately we lost our grandmother whom we all loved dearly. After her passing there were a lot of sentimental items of her’s that were very much a part of our collective childhood, and that’s where my younger brother Marley comes in.

He truly believes that no one should even touch anything that was hers on the premise that he was the 'favourite' and that he was the one who spent the most time with her. Marley has moved everything to a small private storage container where he has it locked and to top it all of, he also keeps her ashes there and refuses anyone to know the wherebouts.

I get that everyone mourns differently but this isn’t it for me, I confronted him in front of everyone and no one seems to see any wrong in his doing apart from me and my other brother. We also want to feel closer to our late grandma but marley is “hogging” memories and our parents and other family fully condone his behavior.

I really want to know AITA?
