- The most important thing is to show up.
- Find out the dress code.
- Give a gift and a card.
- Sign the register.
- Don't be afraid to laugh.
- Don't be afraid to view the body if there is an open casket.
- Bring the children, but don't let them be a disturbance.
- Turn your cell phone off! There is perhaps nothing worse than having your phone ring
during a funeral.
