Call in sick if you have to.. There are some things in life that must come before work at any airline, and i think this is one of those things.

I know you guys just got ALPA spinning up there, but you may want to ask your reps if they would consider honoring your fellow Brother and Sister by organizing somewhat of a color guard. All the pilots at the funeral I attended(myself included) wore full uniform(including hats) & white gloves. We accompanied the casket down the isle, and sat in the same rows. It was organized by several of our reps, and the family was extremely touched. I think it would be a great way to honor our fallen Crew.

of course, when i say "you" i mean alpa. other than perhaps contacting them and sharing the idea, you (singular) shouldnt be the one to organize it, you have a lot on your mind already.
my sincere condolences.

A few years ago when we lost two of our brothers from Skyway Airlines everyone attended in uniform. At Travis Cates' funeral in Kansas the family had all of us stand as an honor guard when he was brought from the church to the hearse. Quite a touching experience.
When C.W. Fortney was killed on the OH flight a couple years ago folks from FL, TZ, AA, YX, AL and UA all showed up in uniform. It's a nice way to show solidarity.
I think you should go in uniform for sure.
