I know you miss your aunt very much, but her grandaughter didn't know her so it will be eaiser that way.
Sometimes it's just best to tell the child "Grandma's in heaven" and she would have really loved you if she were still here" It's a good idea to show her pictures and tell her all the good things so the wonderful memories you all have can live on. I am sure your cousin will deal with it when the time comes and her little girl is old enough to understand.

If she is, then I really don't think you have anything to worry about when your cousin tells your neice. And it's only natural to cry about your aunt. Everybody cries when a loved one dies!! Just think: At least she didn't die when you were like 13, because that would be even worse. And at least it wasn't like your mom or your dad or something. Think how terrible that would have been. As for your uncle, maybe that's his way of dealing with it. Or he doesn't know how to deal with it. If you are truly worried, you can just sit with him and talk about your aunt. I know it's sad and it's scary, but you will feel much better afterwards, plus, then you and your uncle will have a special relationship, like you and your aunt did
