Are jobs legally allowed to REQUIRE proof of a funeral to use bereavement days?

Asking for a friend whose boss is saying she cannot use bereavement days unless there is proof of a funeral, a death certificate AND documentation that the deceased person is indeed a family member. I’m very curious because this flat out sounds fake to me, especially considering one doesn’t usually receive a death certificate for a month or so after the death. Any lawyers care to weigh in? She’s a teacher btw.
