- Etiquette for ex spouses attending funerals of members of their former is not black and white; it very much depends on the individual situation. Funeral services are to pay respect to those you love and care about, so it is natural for someone who had a relationship with the departed loved one to wish to attend.
- However the important part is to honor the person's memory; a funeral is an environment of grieving, and if the former spouse is estranged from the family, the marriage was extremely short and unhappy or there is a history of major acrimony and bad feeling, the priority lies with the sons and daughters of the departed one and their wishes should be factored in.

Should an ex-husband show up at ex-wife's mother's funeral?
Remember that the funeral is for the family. If you have a contentious relationship with your ex-spouse you should not attend since that may add to your ex-wife's grief and discomfort at a very sad and stressful time for her. However, if the ex-husband and ex-wife have an amicable relationship, there is no reason why he should not attend her mother's funeral. The ex-husband may show his respect for her mother in other ways. A card, flowers or gift to a charity in her name would be tasteful.
