In-laws typically qualify the same as your own family if you are married. And government employees certainly get bereavement days.
Having said that, healthcare is awful about days off. When my uncle died, my husband was told they don’t give bereavement days for wife’s uncle, not even to attend funerals. Dang. My husband had to take a sick day.
I’d have hard time if my spouse didn’t attend funeral of my close relative. I’ve never been to a funeral where spouse of a close relative wasn’t there to support the family. It would be a dealbreaker for me.
