If you live in New York should you attend your brother's mother-in-law's funeral in California?
It would be nice, however the relationship is not what I would call tightly coupled (unless you were very close with his mother-in-law). If you were rich, had plenty of free time on your hands, it would be a plus in terms of brother and sister-in-law relationship. However, if you have responsibilities to attend to (work, family etc.), and the trip would place a financial hardship on you and your family, I would say your brother and his wife should understand that the trip would be unreasonable to expect. Hope this helps some.

Why are Hindu's unable to attend funerals after the invitations for a wedding have been written?
Weddings represent celebration of life, of the joy of living, of eternal hope, of ushering in new life; while funerals imply death and dying, negation or passing away of life. Clearly, after wedding invitations have been prepared, attending a funeral creates a mood of depression and despair, which could dampen the enthusiasm of proceeding with wedding protocols. In fact, if the funeral is that of a very close relative of the family, then, as a mark of respect to the departed soul, weddings often get postponed to a later date.
