Above all, OP, know that this reflects poorly on these cousins alone---not the deceased or anyone else present. Sharing your concerns will resonate within your community of family and friends. People will be on the look out to safeguard you from this bad form. Share what you need when the time comes. people always want to know how to help in situations like this. Guide them. If there is someone close to either of these women, they may speak with them ahead of the event to warn them off of their ranting so they have been given fair notice that emotional nasty tirades will result in general disapproval and the need to exit immediately (bouncer friend/cousin/funeral director). State the policy of no "open mic" and attention solely on the deceased. It's not an appropriate affair for these types of (childish, petulant) outbursts. Cousin had the element of surprise on her side, also that it was her mother being put to rest. This is no longer the case. Have people advocate on your behalf ahead of the ceremonies. Best of luck, OP. Also, compassionate e-hugs to you as you make your way through your mother's final decline.
