I would probably just send a Condolence card, and visit the grave privately at a later date, unless you have a mutual friend who KNOWS if you would be welcome at the funeral.
If your children were close with their father you should attend the funeral to be there to support your children.
yes
no
Yes , Arnold did attend the funeral!
No, Prince did not attend the public memorial or the private funeral.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not attend the funeral of Nelson Mandela.
There is no reason why you should not attend. Non-Catholics can attend Catholic events. Personally, I would recommend that you attend, the Mass would be the Catholic equivalent of the funeral, and the Rosary would be the equivalent of the viewing.
no, unless you were friends with him before he married your ex-wife.
That is a decision only you can make

Yes, she attended Churchill's funeral. Although procedure stated that monarchs did not attend the funeral of a statesman, prime ministers etc. She was the first monarch to do this. That is the reason why Queen Victoria did not attend the funeral of Benjamin Disraeli even though they were good friends.
