Depending on the company, the boss, the reason for the compassionate leave, etc, sometimes compassionate leave will be granted over and above vacation and sick leave. Haven't seen it in my current company but in my last one, the manager gave one of the ladies an extra week paid leave when her mum passed away so that she could go back to the UK for the funeral (company allowance was 3 paid and 2 unpaid days).
If we'd stayed in the UK, I'd be up to the maximum 6 weeks vacation by now . I have a habit of booking my main vacation on a week with a bank holiday in it so that I only use 4 days instead of 5 - makes the allowance go a bit further LOL.
