I wouldn't bother, why would you want to go anyway, it's
not going to be a sit down three course meal just some
simple sarnies and a cuppa and everyone will ask you how you
knew him and your answer will be "I said hello to him 5 years ago".

Been on both sides of that one, attended the funeral of a colleague who I knew well, but knew no-one at the funeral and felt quite awkward telling his family who I was. I attended the funeral of a colleagues mother, the guy worked for me, but I had never met his mum. It was more of an empathetic gesture, but he was genuinely appreciative of my support.
When my father died, there were all sorts of people there, some who hadn't seen him in 30 years and others who I had no idea who they were and may have been serial funeral goers. I shook their hands thanked them for their kind words of support and for attending.
If you didn't know him that well and you wish to pay your respects, attend, sit towards the back, and leave un-noticed, wouldn't bother with the tea and biscuits thing afterwards.

Ive been to about 6000+ funerals, Most without without invites.
lots of people go, just to pay there last respects.
its a personal thing, if you feel you want to go, then go.
