If it was someone that I'd had a long-term relationship with and had gotten close to their family, then yes, I probably would.

Yes, I actually did. My ex-boyfriend's grandfather died a month after we broke up and I went to the funeral. We were together for 2 years and I was close to his famiy so it just felt like the right thing to do.

absolutely i would. but, i suppose i am lucky in that i have not ended relationships so poorly that i couldn't have decent communication with my exes. i have lost touch with most of them, but everything was amicable at the end. i think it was touching for JT and JM to go to the memorial for Cameron's dad.

I would go. Out of respect especially if I have been with that person for a long time.

My friend's grandfather died a few months ago and he was like a father to her. She asked her current boyfriend to go to the funeral but he had to work late (never even told his job about it) and missed it. However, her ex-boyfriend did make it to the funeral, because he knew just how close her relationship was.

She dumped the current a few days later.

I would go, but I would ask first. I wouldn't want to stir up any issues. Some of my exes have GFs that don't want them to be in contact with any of their exes etc.

if I was close with their family I would definitely attend. Just because you're not together doesn't mean that you shouldn't show your respects.

popgoes, i agree with that
i would want to attend the funeral of my ex if his grandmother, parents, or siblings god forbid happened to pass away, as we were together for a long time, but i wouldnt want to put any undue stress on their day
if someone in my family died, i would be honored if a few of my exes came (the ones i'm civil and have a friendship with), however, i have a story to share that might make me think twice about what i'd ACTUALLY want if the situation presented itself:

my grandfather died and my cousin's ex-fiance showed up to the funeral (not the wake, just the funeral), and she came in to the private showing reserved only for the family, and she clung to his mother (my aunt,whose father had just died), and never acknowledged my cousin, but was there crying louder and more ostentatiously than any of us grandchildren were...my cousin was really upset to see her, as she had broken his heart not too long before that, and my grandfather was like a father to him, so this day was VERY hard for him to begin with....so while this girl may have been tight with my grandfather during their relationship, her presence was NOT appreciated by any of us that day...she really overstepped her boundaries

so i would say, ask if they want you there, and then if you do decide to go, maybe slip in and sit at the back quietly...don't make a big production of being respectful

My last two boyfriends were long term relationships, so if they invited me I would definately go.

my bf ex's brother just passed and my bf was really close to her brother, and when he got the news he cried and cried, and he's going to the funeral, and its definitely a great thing to give his last respects.

depends on the situation. but generally no.

If my ex's mother or father died, I would go dance on their graves. They made my life hell when we were together. If my ex showed up to either of my parents funeral, I'd kill him, he's not welcome!

I'm very close to my boyfriends' mom and dad. So, if we were to break up, I would definetly still go to the funeral. I think that's the least I can do. And, I actually wouldn't care if he would have his current gf with him to be honest, I'd do it for me because of how close I was to them.

I agree with the people who said they'd make sure it wouldn't put more stress on the day.

when I first saw this, I didn't read the word 'family' and I though it said "Would you go to an ex's funeral". yes, I would go to an ex's funeral.

Yes, I would go to ex's family member's funeral if the situation made it appropriate that I attend.

it depends. my one ex i knew his family very well, so i would want to go- but him and i didn't end things well, so i wouldn't just show up if his family member died- but if he asked me i'd definitely go. otherwise i'd send a card. my other ex i didn't know his family at all, so i'd only go if asked.

Omg I was so thinking about this after I found out that Justin and John attended Cameron's fathers funeral. I honestly do not know. It depends on how long we dated and if we were still close after we broke up.

I emailed the obituary to my ex to let him know that my family member had died. We weren't on speaking terms at the time, but we had dated for 4 years and he was close to that family member, and I thought he at least deserved to know. I wouldn't have wanted him at the funeral though... it was so hard as is, and I wouldn't have wanted to concentrate on anything else.

Yes, I don't have any past relationships that didn't end on good terms. When my one really long term ex's father died (who I was fairly close to in our younger days), I was very sad to be far away and unable to attend. The really strange thing was that I was far away at my husband's father's funeral.

yes, its more out of respect than of your history. Not every but those whom you had a serious relationship with and your family had a good relationship with.

My ex lost both his parents, his mom before we dated, his dad after. He's only 22. I went to his father's funeral, and it was quite possibly the hardest thing I have ever done, but I am so glad that I did it. I know he appreciated it. It was very hard to show up and face all of the people I used to know and hang out with that I lost when we broke up, but I went there for him. Who cares about everyone else. I urge anyone in my position to go to the funeral. You will feel better afterwards, I promise.

you know, when my boyfriend of 6+ years and I broke up last august I thought about this for a bit. our relationship ended mutually and not without acknowledging our long history, however since then we are both in serious relationships with other people and while we have both moved on, he has made some attempts to have a friendship [i wanted this at first and he did not, then after a while he came around and i just realised we didn't have anything in common anymore]. anyway, when we broke up I thought about what if scenarios, like what if a family member died, how should I react. I think I would want to go out of respect for the person who died, not necessarily to support him [unless he specifically asked me to come]. and I'm not sure how his girlfriend would take it. I know my boyfriend might be upset if I chose to go but he would definitely understand my decision to attend the funeral/memorial service.

I would go if I was close to the person who died, or if my ex needed the support, and i would hope it would work the other way around too.

Depends how serious the relationship was really... and how close you were to his family!

yes. i would go to my ex husband's family member's funeral. they were my family for over 13 years and they still are.

I think it is good for Justin to have been there. They were together for a long time. I think just some acknowledgement is good enough.

Personally it depends on the relationship and how long ago it was.

Yes absolutely.I've had good and very lengthy relationships where i have gotten close to family members.I couldn't imagine not attending, it wouldn't feel right to me.The only reason i'm there is to pay my respects not to hang out and get caught up in the new girlfriend's drama.Thank god that's never happened.
