Just went through this with my MIL. 40+ years of family heirlooms. We moved a bunch of it. More than she will ever need or can fit in her house and had an auction for the rest. The way I see it, I will get to move it all again someday when I'm in my 60's instead of my 40's. Yipee.
You have a couple options...

2. Leave it for your kid(s) to deal with after you are gone. They will have the auction and use the money to make themselves happy (which is what you want them to be).
3. Leave everything to someone who isn't your kid(s). Maybe a charity. They will have the auction and use the money how they want to.
Regardless, you can't take it with you. It's just stuff. It may have belonged to Grampa, but it isn't Grampa.
