...or at least mentioned it to someone.

Absent that you'll have to ask yourself if this is something that could have possibly offended her had it been suggested before she died. If the answer is yes, then it seems the proper thing to do is decline their offer. If you think she would have been for it or at least indifferent to it, then I don't see the harm. No sense in creating or contributing to a family rift when it doesn't really mean anything anyway.
