casket in a ditch, do they bring the flowers to funeral, or are they
already there?
Thank you in advance....

You could also try tropical flowers.

Also, somehow trying to bar the ex from the funeral is not going to make them suddenly become a better person you're planning to arrange in your will for security....
What would it matter? If I'm dead I wouldn't know who was at my funeral anyway.

And go to your kid's game.
