Family death, job is asking for an obituary

So I work in Las Vegas in a startup manufacturing plant. My unofficial partner had his sister die suddenly and tragically from a blood clot brought on by a drug overdose a few weeks ago (she was 36 and clean for a year and a half). So I flew out to the east coast with him to support him and be there through the process. I just found out that my job now wants an obituary for my bereavement time off(they are mega understaffed and quite frankly an abusive workplace). My question is this, can they request this sort of documention? I am not mentioned in the obituary at all but I am very close to the family (I am a pallbearer). Do I have to provide any additional documention to prove that I attended since I am not in the obituary? Just trying to cover my ass here.
