My dad was adopted when he was less than 2 years old. He never met his birth parents after the adoption, and both were dead by the time he was 24. His adoptive mom was a real bi.....er, a real piece of work. His adoptive dad left his wife when he was 63 years old to run off with a younger woman [and on some levels, I can't say I blame him]. Four months later, he came back. I don't know that I ever saw my dad cry at his mom's funeral, but I saw him break down when his dad passed away.

If going would be interpreted by anyone as being a spiteful move, then stay home.
Just my point of view, and my take on what I'd do if I was in your shoes.
