According to The Daily Beast, young Galen Grier's absence stemmed from messy divorce proceedings between the actor and wife Victoria Duffy.
A statement from Dennis's attorney to Duffy's representatives stated that he wished for Galen to attend his funeral, but her mother was not invited.
"As your client knows, the funeral for Mr Hopper will be where he wanted to be buried in Taos, New Mexico. As your client also knows... she is not invited to the funeral. It was Mr Hopper's specific wish that Ms Hopper not attend his funeral," the statement read.
It continued: "Ms Hopper has indicated that she is not going to allow Galen to attend the funeral unless she attends. Mr Hopper's family (particularly after what was said about them in the press by Ms Hopper) does not wish that Ms Hopper attend the funeral.
"On the family's behalf, I request that [her nanny] be allowed to bring Galen to the funeral and return her thereafter. Please let me know whether your client will consent to do what I can only call the 'decent thing."
The funeral took place last Wednesday in Taos, NM.
Hopper died on June 5 at the age of 74 after battling prostate cancer.
