Weird Family Secret...

Well Its not really a big secret, but when I was about 5 my aunt had got preg, and her h2o broke at 5 months, because she had some kind of bacteria in her amnotic fluid, so the baby came, he was a boy, and he died 30 minutes after his birth. Well I asked my mom where did they bury him, cos we never go visit his grave, its like he was never born, and she kinda got red, and said that they cremated him, and my grandma kept him in her closet, then when my great grandma died, they put him in there, but they did NOT put his name anywhere on the headstone, well she was buried in a wall, but you know...
so my questions are
A. Did she get some std from my uncle that could have caused the bacteria, or is it just some sort of weird thing that happends to some women?

B. Is there any way I could have this happen to me? Like is it genetic?

C. Is it me or is it weird that they didn't put his name or any memoriam on the head stone that he was buried at?

I am just confused as to why they do not say anything about him to this day. No one talks about him, it was like he was never born. I understand that this is very painful for everyone, but I would think that they would want to remember him. My family is really close, so I cant understand why they didnt put his name at the headstone. Its quite upsetting to me. Up until last month, I didnt even know where he was buried... Seems strange, what do you guys think...
