I have a huge dilemma anyone have suggestions?

Okay so my great aunt just died a couple days ago and her funeral is on Wednesday at 1:00. I wasn't that close to her because I never really got to see her very much. But still shes my aunt and I want to go pay my respects. The problem is on Wednesday at 1:30 I have my first day of a college cl that I am supposed to go to. There is no way I can do both. If I go to the funeral it will not be done in a half hour to get back to the school which is twenty minutes away. Any ideas on what I should do? I only have this cl once a week but I will never get to see my aunt shirley again..Any advice would be great...
