I am one of 9 kids. When my mother died, all 4 former spouses attended her funeral and even my sister's former father in law attended. They shared grandchildren.
It was a great testament to my mother and showed that the former spouses could rise above their animosity towards their estranged spouses, to honor the decedent. And my mom was the grandmother of many.
If your FIL was a good man, what was your reasoning not attending? And why didn't the girls?
My soon to be former FIL is ill. He was in my life longer than my own dad.
I assume I'll attend his funeral when he passes away, unless I am asked not to.
And my kids will be there if I have to fly them out myself.
Guess I missed part of the thread that explains your reasoning on this.
You liked the man, right?
