ok, so stepmom? why says dad's wife?

If dad remarried when OP was older (I'd say above 18?) she would have performed no 'mothering' duties, and therefore would not qualify for step-mom name.

It's about respect. Go.

I have better things to do than to artificially inflate a dead person's family members' egos. I will go to a funeral if I want to, and vice versa.

don't bother.

He identifies the woman as "my dad's wife". If he's only going to be showing fake respect and false empathy then why go?

Seriously. Just sit this one out. The entire time you're there people will be looking at you saying, "Who the hell is that?"

I'd say no. I agree with TallBill about being out of place if you're not close to the person.

go to support the people that you do know.

Funeral is for you to say your goodbye one lastime. Being that you didn't know the person and likely not know many people there, i would say skip it.

don't go. it's a waste of time and needless awkwardness for you and others.
