It would likely be within the legal rights outlined in such a contract to ask for proof. (Note: Airlines require proof for funeral related discounts.) Whether or not they do it would probably be up to the particular office but in either case there is going to be a record of the claim for leave and the reason.
For general benifits (married or common-law) I know that there is at least a formal legal declaration of status somewhere in the paperwork that one would declare such status. (That is likely double checked if a security check is completed.)
Personally, when I had to attend a friends funeral I took vacation time.
