A Federal employee may use up to 104 hours (13 days) of sick leave each leave year for family care and bereavement, which include making arrangements required by the death of a family member and attending the funeral. Other entitlements regarding leave for funerals relate to firefighters and law enforcement officers, veterans participating in a funeral ceremony, use of military leave for funeral honors duty, and funeral leave for a combat-related death of an immediate family member.

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management defined "family member," "immediate relative," and related terms in response to the President's June 17, 2009, Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies on Federal Benefits and Non-Discrimination. These definitions relate to the use of sick leave, funeral leave, voluntary leave transfer, voluntary leave bank, and emergency leave transfer and expand the categories of individuals for whom a Federal employee may use these types of leave.
