 Hi. If his parents wont take it very well, you must give them the honor of laying their son to rest in peice, if he is being buried, then go to see him at another time. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope i helped, Feel free to mail me about anything :) x

I can't see how it would cause further upset. If in your heart you feel you should be a part of his final farewell by all means go. After all, you're going to honour his memory. I'm sorry for your loss. Whilst he was an Ex he's still been a part of your life, and you have every right to go to his funeral. Who knows, they might even be happy to see you there. Best of Luck, do whatever you feel is right for you.

 I'm sorry, that was a little harsh. I think it's best for you to grieve in private however.

I agree- if you aren't there really to support the family but ultimately aggravate their grief then there's really no place for you to be there.

 In my opinion, if the family won't take it well, then you must not go. Avoid problems in tense moments such as this.
