Not that it’s an excuse, but she’s clearly just trying to start some shit.
Why is she so bored in life? Why does she hate herself so much that she does something so unwinnable and so extreme? I feel like this is more than just attention seeking.
Your SiL is just mentally ill. You can try to help her if you want, but the main thing is that I would advise against letting it play out exactly how she wants it to unless you want to go to her funeral in a short while.
Otherwise nothing really much, her being retarded is still better then you going there and making a scene (even if you wouldnt do anything they would make a scene and blame you). Just cut them off completely
For real, I show up at funerals for free food all the time. Don't put it up on the billboard outside the funeral parlor if you don't want me to eat your fried chicken and potato salad.
Well yeah, you just get in the car line, go to the grave site then follow everyone else for Mac and cheese after the burial. If anyone asks, secret lover.

How do you handle this with your family? Who tells someone they can’t attend a service to pay respects.

Make a scene. Be sure to drink before hand.

Going to need more context. If mother in law and father in law weren’t actually together anymore or something it’s totally reasonable.

The responsible thing to do in that situation is to bring the mother in law as your plus-one.

What did you do? Or are they just insane?

You say "based" and continue to do your own thing. And if she gets mad about it, you say "cope".

what's the background? why doesn't she want her there?

Just the mother in law was going to attend, the rest of our family was traveling/ out of state.

Don't listen to him. Pay a hooker to pretend to be very close to the deceased at the funeral.

"Internalized misogynist" and "prude" are the new slurs for women with standards and boundaries. Don't let newspeak fool you. ;)

If it’s an advertised funeral then everyone is automatically invited according to my faith.

This is why my family does the food afterwards at a different house.

I think I need a diagram of the relationships here. Are both of these people your inlaws? Are they eachother's inlaws?
