I guess alot depends on his reason for not going. Is there a resentment towards the younger one who passed? 
My only concern is that this COULD cause some problems between the brothers if he doesn't go. There were 4 sisters (including me) in my family. One sister died last week. I was responsible for this sister for the past ten years -- for her financial situation, etc. My other 2 sisters live on the west coast. Well, when this sister died, the other 2 did NOT come home! So now I have to clean out her apartment by myself, and I'm disabled! You have NO idea what a mess I'm in because I have a DEADLINE as far as cleaning it out. She lived in a senior citizen housing complex, and they only give you a certain amount of time.  I'm supposed to be out of there by this Thursday -- and it's NOT going to be done! So naturally I have a bit of a resentment towards them for NOT coming home to help.
I'm wondering if your husbands brothers will feel resentful towards your hubby for not coming. Is that a possiblity? I would hate to see a problem come up between them .  But of course I don't know his reasoning either.
I think you're right about trying to get him to go -- he probably will regret it in the future. I wish you the very best. Keep us posted, ok? God bless, Perna & take care. Hugs, Lee
