I’m Jewish, but believe it’s important to respect the wishes of the one to be buried. If you don’t have siblings, perhaps you have cousins who are willing to carry out your mother’s wishes. If you choose not to participate in the service, that’s your choice, but let me add that I have an Orthodox cousin who will not attend a relative’s wedding if that relative marries a non-Jew and I find that a bit offensive.
