Should I invite my first wife and her family to my brother's memorial service?

I was married to my first wife for 10 years, divorced in 1992. She remarried immediately and i remarried in 2001. I was close to the family, as was my brother. She divorced me and married my brother's roommate. I am over that, and it seems weird not to at least inform them of his death, and invite them.

You should let her know that he passed away and that there will be a memorial service. Give her the info for it so they can come if they want. There is nothing wrong with that.

I'm sorry about your loss. It is a very decent thing to inform your ex wife about your brother's memorial service. It is not about the two of you, but about honoring your brother. I hope you ex wife will attend.

Inform them of the death. Let them know of the memorial if they can attend. If not, that is okay too.

Sorry for your loss.

She won't be coming for you but out of respect for your brother's memory. There's nothing wrong with her being notified of his passing. She will make the decision to attend or not.

She would be coming out of respect for your family, which she was once a part of.

You should invite them.
