Is it appropriate or acceptable for an ex wife to attend funeral of ex-father-in-law?

Grandfather of sons and my ex husbands is still a good friend. I went to the wake tonight, was planning on attending funeral to be sportive to my 2 sons ans My ex who I still have a friend relationship with but yes Im wondering if its a good Idea. I don't want to overstep my boundaries. Also Im still close to the family. My ex Mother-in-law is great

Update:

    This is your son's grandfather and your ex MIL is your children's grandmother. It is totally acceptable for you to attend, with your sons, their grandparent's funeral. Long as you don't make it about you in any way, it's likely even been anticipated. This isn't however, an opportunity for you to "catch up", just to show respect.

    Why would it not be. If the two people showed mutual respect for each

    other. One should go.

    It depends on the age of your sons. I think the wake was enough if your sons are teenagers or older.
