Is it better to use your day off for attending a funeral or apply for special leave

there is no "better" its a personal choice
special leave is unpaid, and depending on what kind of relationship you had with the deceased could be denied the day off.
If its your day off you wont lose any pay.

special leave A may be granted and as such would be paid, but if not can still be granted as unpaid
