Kwok, 47, appeared at the Hong Kong Funeral Home in the morning, about 15 minutes after Hung, 33, her mother and brother, said Apple Daily.
The mourners moved later to a crematorium, where the pop star took off his mask and shades, as a mark of respect, said the newspaper.
He stood next to his girlfriend in the first row for family members and they offered incense to her father.
Apple Daily said he acquitted himself better than Heavenly King Andy Lau, who concealed his marriage with his wife Carol Choo and played hide-and-seek with reporters at his father-in-law's funeral near Kuala Lumpur in 2009.
