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

I Want to Give Something to the Family. What Should I Bring?

Sympathy cards and food are thoughtful gestures. Providing a meal is especially helpful if there are out-of-town relatives attending the funeral, as a simple meal that’s easy to reheat can be a lifesaver during a time of overwhelming grief. If you do want to send flowers, consider having them delivered directly to the family’s home rather than the funeral home. As Whitmore suggests, this allows the family to enjoy the flowers if they host any gatherings at their home.
