Brother in law passed away

Is there an entitlement to time for funeral and if not can a holiday day be used at short notice for the funeral?

The reason I ask about holiday day is trying to get one is a nightmare, been told before can't guarantee it until day before date wanted.

• Bereavement: If an employee loses somebody close to them, be supportive, sensitive and accommodating,
giving them time to deal with their loss. The amount of time required will vary depending on the relationship
and the circumstances of the bereavement. For immediate family members (spouse, partner, sibling,
child, parent), offer up to one week off with full pay. For other family members (e.g. grandparents or
parents-in-law), offer a paid day off to attend the funeral. For wider family and friends, help to facilitate
shift-swaps, agree for the employee to make the time up, or offer one unpaid day off/one day
of holiday to attend the funeral
