If organising the funeral, 1 week paid special leave, which can be extended by annual leave at the Managers discretion. I suffered the same situation in November so you have my sympathies.

I would also recommend keeping the Manager in the loop as to when the funeral is and when you expect to be back.

You can also go to your Doctors and get signed off with stress as bereavement can be quite stressful.
