My mom did not go out of town to her brother’s funeral. They sent pictures. We sent flowers. The family completely understood and didn’t expect her to travel.

How far away is the funeral? How long will she be there?

Have you looked into services like Visiting Angels? I use them for my 97 and 100 yr old aunties as a companion who they really like a lot and I've been very pleased with her. The people who work for VA are usually vetted and experienced. Maybe you can hire them for this single event. If your mom (or you) don't have the financial means for something like this then I don't really know what other options you have. My mom and aunts did not attend the funerals of 2 of their siblings. Don't feel bad or guilty if she doesn't get to go. Maybe have someone there video it or take pics to show her after. Maybe have people at the event record video greetings addressed directly to her saying how they missed her but understand. Not perfect solution but better than nothing.
