Verified the girls are scared of him, but I think that he is full of wind and bluffing. Am I right.
He has no legal authority to tell his sisters who they can and cannot speak to. He also has no legal basis to sue them if they disrupt a funeral, although they should be careful not to break the law when attending the funeral. But speaking your mind at a funeral, even if others don't like what you have to say, is not something he could sue them over.
If you're satisfied with the results of your question, then I'll ask you to please provide positive feedback so that I will get credit for the time spent on your question.
