My grandmother passed away, and it is traditional that I, as a son-in-law, am not required to attend the funeral. My wife is mourning his grandmother's death, as a married woman do I need to accompany the gift? You as a son-in-law do not have to go to the funeral when your grandmother passes away, which is what you say is the traditional etiquette.
