How do you calculate when the shloshim is? Does the day of the funeral count? I am terrible with math and afraid I'm going to mess up.
Can someone please tell me, if a funeral is today, what day is the shloshim?

Very important, I am trying to set something up before the funeral begins.
Thank you!

I am almost sure that shloshim begins from the time of kevurah, so if kevurah takes place today before shkiya, shloshim would be 24 Shevat/17 February.

Besuros tovos.

SHloishim begin from the day of Petira and not kvura!!!!!!!!!!! (only shiva is after kvura. Everything else is after Petira)

Good point. I knew that! Just a little overwhelmed.
Either way I still can't do math...

Acutally, it depends.
If burial was postponed (I think for more than 3 days), the shloshim does get changed.

It's all overwhelming at such a time, and having a rav with a level mind can only be helpful.

I just lost my mother and my father and last week I lost my father in law. So I'm very familiar to this halochos

bgk, in some instances it does go by petira, but usually by the kevura.
Yahrtzeit goes by the petira.
