Have you ever embarrassed yourself when you went to someone's funeral?

Should I Send Flowers to a Jewish Funeral?

In a word, no. Unlike other traditions where flowers are customary, Jewish funeral practices typically discourage them. Instead, it is more appropriate to make a charitable donation in the deceased’s name. As Diane Gottsman, another etiquette expert, points out, different religions and cultures have varied customs when it comes to funerals. To avoid making a faux pas, it’s always a good idea to do your research. If you're unsure, checking online or calling the house of worship can provide helpful guidance. And once you’re at the service, be prepared to "do as the Romans do"—that is, participate and respect the customs, even if they are different from your own.
