    You can't reach anyone because it is a Jewish Holiday yesterday and today.  You will likely be able to reach someone tomorrow.  Have either of your brothers made arrangements for her burial?  If so, they should be able give you the details of where and when she will be buried.

    Sorry for your loss. 
    I will simply echo what SpunkySenior said. Should either be able to get someone after the holiday and your brothers should be able to let you know what is being planned. This post was edited by my2cents at September 20, 2020 7:44 AM MDT

    Sorry to hear Pearl. Hope you're able to do something that helps you deal with your loss.

    One thing to consider is whether your sister left any written instructions for her final arrangements. Most funeral planners will do their best to respect those wishes.

    I'm sorry for your loss, Pearl. I expect that even if there is a funeral, your family would understand if you chose not to travel to it during the pandemic.

      Pearl, I’m sorry to learn that your sister has passed away. I know that you have a twin sister, but I don’t know if she is the same one you mention here.  Either way, I send you my condolences and I hope you’re able to get the information about her services as soon as possible.
