The funeral home likely does not want to get in the middle of a fight. If the funeral home happens to pick the wrong side, the funeral home can end up losing a lot.

The thing to do seems to be to determine who is the legal wife of the grandfather.

Given the shortness of time, your family likely should not delay in finding the answer. Your family likely should promptly consult with an attorney. If there is a court case, your family likely should look into how to become a party to that court case so that the issues can be quickly resolved.

Besides the funeral arrangement, the issue of who is the legal wife likely will determine how your father's estate is distributed.
