He is being disciplined.

What type of punishment can he get?
Anything from dismissal to a warning .If he has had warnings before then it won't look good .One has to wonder why he didn't ask for time off to attend the funeral employers are generally pretty understanding when it comes to these things ...so was he realy at a funeral ? it would have been a better excuse than his car breaking down
