Retail pharmacy company won’t allow bereavement

So I’ll keep this short but looking for suggestions. My wife works for a large retail pharmacy. Her grandmother passed away last week and they are having a service next Wednesday. She informed her district manager of needing time off but was told to speak with the person who makes the schedule because she wasn’t sure if there would be coverage. The person making the schedule says she cannot find someone to cover her shift. It’s only one day she would need covered. Her employee handbook says she can have 3 days unless unable to accommodate. So she is stuck working or switching with another pharmacist to cover her shift. I should also mention we have a mini vacation scheduled for the couple days after the following week. We are transplants so we would need to travel to the funeral.
