When my grandpa died my aunt called my parents and I at home. I remember dad's former boss who died and I was told later. I didn't go to the man's funeral to pay my respects. My parents know how death is very hard on me. Another one of dad's business partners died and mom told me months after. I rather hear the sad news as soon as that person died instead of telling me after the person had the funeral and burial. Did you ask your mom why she didn't tell you right away? This was family. You were close to your great aunt? I think I too was told after one of my great uncle's died. I don't recall my parents telling me about my Uncle Frank's death. 
I also lost one of my grandmas nearly 2 years ago and one of my cousins in Seattle called me right away to tell me about my grandma's death.

I also lost one of my grandmas nearly 2 years ago and one of my cousins in Seattle called me right away to tell me about my grandma's death.I knew when she died, I just wasn't told when the funeral was. I got a text from my mom saying, "Just got back from the funeral. I'm exhausted. I'll talk to you later." I called her up immediately, crying, bitching and sobbing into the phone while demanding why she didn't tell me when the funeral was. I wanted to go so bad and I was hurt that she assumed that I would be too busy to be there for her. That's insulting. I was close to her, she lived with us for a time and then she moved relatively close by. I saw her weekly until last year when they started doing all that chemo on her. >.<
She said, "I sent you an e-mail about when the funeral was." I checked all three of my e-mail accounts, spam filters and all, and I didn't see a damn thing. :/
