[quote=Anonymous]Do not send flowers. You can send food or make a donation to a charity of the family has specified one. Typically a Jewish funeral will happen fairly quickly after the person died. You can go to the funeral but if you can't, the family will sit shiva, a period of mourning at their house. This will be the first night the person dies (unless it is Friday ) Shiva will also not be during the day on Saturday. It would start again on Saturday night. If it just happened, they will probably sit Sunday during the day and then not again till Wednesday since it is the Jewish New Year. You don;t have to stay at the Shiva a long time. An hour would be plenty. You don't have to wear anything special but I would not go in gym clothes. If you go to the funeral, they will go to the cemetery after. Wear low shoes so your heels don't sink in the ground. [/quote]
