Look.You state that your sons are GROWN...I'm sure they would be able to attend the funeral all by themselves.It would be different if they were really young kids BUT they are grown.When you are divorced...AND the kids are grown..you are done having to be at certain functions or done having to do certain commitments. You are divorced.You don't have to attend your ex's funeral with your grown children.They can do that by themselves.
My father came up from Florida to CT for her funeral. BIG MISTAKE. It made it so much harder for my siblings and I. My mother wouldn't have wanted him there, but we didn't have the heart to say it to him. Such a difficult situation for us. When my parent died, I didn't need any extra drama.
My mother's siblings didn't want to see him. I think he expected some type of reunion with her family after 25 plus years. My mother's siblings didn't even want to even make eye contact with him. He sat behind me in the church and her family was behind him - two rows back. It wasn't right he took their seats.
If you go, sit in the last row and don't expect to speak to your former in-laws. Better yet, don't go.
