When did he pass? Depending on the time frame they asked for it back it may be a little coldhearted. If it were me I would have eventually given it back no asking necessary.
Is it mine? Or should I give it back?

I don't think that's unreasonable. Matter of fact, they shouldn't have even had to ask for it. They probably thought you'd give it back without having to ask for it.
If they waited a longer, would you think they should have asked for it sooner?

So you gonna stay engaged to this dead dude for life and never get married again?
If you have to come to the Forum to ask...you are not greiving that bad..
Do the right thing and give it back.
PS: Did he remember you in his will?
Did he leave you his estate?
If not..return the ring and take the replacement..the family is greiving too!
As hard as it is, and again if it were me I would also be heart broken, but it really is the right thing to return the ring to the family since it once belonged to another memeber of their family....Ask for something that once belonged to him, maybe a toy, or blankie or something from his childhood that you could cling too in his memory...that is what I would do, I would not want a replacement ring from some store...I would want something else that was a part of him...

Ok I was thinking it was a little sooner. Sorry for your loss
Bottom line it is your decision to make... but really and truly think what your fiance would want you to do.

I'd give it back since it was a family heirloom.
You should give it back, regardless of the legalities.
Is this another one of your stories that goes on for two pages before you let loose with the rest of the story?Lets say you were engaged to be married, and received a family heirloom (about 80 years old) as the engagement ring. Your fiance' dies before you get married. His family wants the heirloom back and is willing to give you a replacement ring.
Should I give it back? Or do I keep it?
What would be the legal answer to this as well since the contract was with him, NOT his family.
It should have been returned voluntarily prior to that. The family shouldn't have had to ask.

If it were me, I'd give it back. If it wasn't a family heirloom, it'd be different.

This exact topic was part of the movie Catch & Release. She refused to give the ring back. In the end it's up to you but I would probably give it back if it were me.
I tried to post the link but it won't copy & paste correctly. Wikipedia and search the movie title will.

He's probably rolling over in his grave that you are battling with his grieving family. His family is what is left over, you can get a lot more of him from them than from an inanimate object. I imagine they have a lot of stories that they could tell you about him and you would still have that part of him through them.
It's just a ring, give it back.
