Are Muslims allowed to attend the funeral of a non-Muslim?

Question

.My parents and brothers are non-Muslims but I am a Muslima. If they die before me is it halal or haram to attend their funeral? Jazak Allah khair for answering my question.

Answer

It is not permissible for a Muslim to honour a non-Muslim at the time of his
(non-Muslim's) death. A funeral ceremony is observed in honour of the
deceased.
