Thank you so much for your views they are most welcome. I will explain further why I feel I must decide is based on past circumstance. My OH mother died a few years ago. OH daughter from a previous marriage was 18 and hadn't seen her father or granny since she was 13. So when OH mother died we felt we should let her know. Cutting a long story short. Not only did the daughter come but the mother(ex-wife) and the bloke (who she ran off with) come to the funeral. To top it all OH cousin came in late, so no time for introductions, (who I'd never met) they thought OH was still married to ex-wife and thought I was the caterer. Another couple who are friends of ex-wife who had known that ex was having the affair and drip fed little morsels of infomation to OH about his daughter which would worry him sick. They turned up univited because they had know OH mother, cant stand the b.....y woman. I've managed to avoid having anything to do with them since. They all seem to think they still have a claim on OH So my point is when his time comes which I hope will be a long time away (and true things may be different, but he's had a couple of strokes) I feel I couldn't face them if they insist on coming, because they are just a likely to turn up at the service. However I would need to tell his daughter so as to tell the grandchildren, perhaps I could tell them when its all over, however our daughter and her half sister are very close. Tough one this. Hope there are some gems of help out there
