What, if anything, should I send to the funeral of a Jewish friends mother?

I%26#039;m Christian, my friend is Jewish. His mom died yesterday and I was going to send flowers...however, I thought I remembered him telling me that Jews don%26#039;t observe that tradition at funerals. Do I send anything? Nothing? and what about a sympathy card?

Visit the family-nothing else is necessary. I hope the answer by %26quot;me%26quot; was tongue-in-cheek, otherwise it is the most disgusting answer I have ever seen on Yahoo answers, and believe me, I%26#039;ve seen some disgusting answers.
Reply:a sympathy card would be a good idea.


Donate what you would have spent on flowers to a worthy cause (maybe one she supported) in her name.


If you can attend the services and be supportive to him.


in other words be a friend and do what you think is right.

Reply:A simple sympathy card should be fine.





Always try to give someones beloved dead they same consideration would would wish them to show to yours, respect their faith.
Reply:Find out where the Shiva (mourning house) is and visit your friend there. Do not worry the body will not be there. Most people who go offer ther condolences and be supportive of the friend and family. A card is good to. and maybe bring a dessert or something.
Reply:You should go over and pay your respects. It would mean more than any gift you could send.
Reply:a card and/or a fruit basket (meaning, ONLY fruit)
Reply:As a matter of etiquette, I%26#039;d give the money you%26#039;d spend on flowers to a charity in the deceased person%26#039;s name. Flowers at funerals are generally frowned upon, as they are considered festive and therefore inappropriate for mourning. Jews also care very much about charity, so an endowment would be very welcome.





Please visit your friend%26#039;s home to express condolences. You might also want to bring a basket of Kosher foods, if you can get some guidance how to pick correctly.
Reply:Be a good christian and do what your religion demands and what you feel in your heart - send her a lovely card with flowers on it and a message





%26quot;Your mom will burn in hell FOREVER for rejecting Christ repent and accpet him to before you suffer the same fate you Jewish heathen. Jesus loves you.%26quot;
Reply:Send a five foot red rose crucifix with a %26quot;may Christ have mercy on your soul%26quot; on the banner.
