Grandparents funeral

[Postiebear]

Anyone know if any bereavement entitlement for Grandparent funeral?

Would it need to be a holiday day or a swap of day or do Royal mail give a compassionate day for funeral?

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

But 8f you could let them know what time the funeral finishes so they can judge how much you will be able to take out before it gets dark
