Answer
Thank you for your question.
If the cremation is done by non-Jews then you may attend, but not the when the actual cremation is taking place.
I do want to add that if the service is in a church, then it would be forbidden to enter not only the building but also the whole surrounding compound.
Wishing you only good news.
