My husband's ex-wife's husband's mother died. Should we attend the funeral? My husband and his x-wife have a 15 year old daughter together which is why it's an issue at all. This is the first person she's been remotely close to that has died and it's hitting her kinda hard. We're not sure of the proper etiquette of something like this. We're not sure if we should go to support his daughter, or if our presence will be an intrusion.

Just send flowers, make sure the daughter is accompanied by some one! If thats not possible, then have your husband go, and you get set tight! My X attended my mothers funeral( they didn't even like each other), and acted as she where the queen bee, dressed like a hooker, and was just a general annoyance to most!!

There is no possible way I would ever go to that funeral. Did you know his mother? Probably not. Send flowers and a card and comfort the daughter, let her know your there for her.
Going to the funeral would probably make others very uncomfortable.
Good luck!

Go only if you knew the deceased personally ( or even if you met her a few times) Otherwise, I would just send flowers and a thoughtful card. The 15 yr. old can go with her mom and step-dad.

How well do you and the ex's family get along? if it is awkward around them on a normal basis it will probably be awkward then. But if the daughter is taking it hard and she asks you both to come, then you should support her and go....

Yes, you should go to support the daughter. If there's friction between you guys and the ex, avoid her,other than to extend your condolences.

Go for the sake of the kid unless it would cause problems with the family of the deceased.
Call them and ask permission.

Your husband should go and not you, since he knew her and you didn't. What is the big deal? Why would you go? You didn't know her.
