There are many different ways to acknowledge the death of someone, depending on your relationship with their family and friends, and your closeness, and comfort.

• Leave an online condolence via the funeral home or obituary website
• Send a card of condolence
• Pay your respects at a visitation
• Attend the funeral service
• Make a donation in their memory
• Order flowers for the visitation/service (if culturally acceptable)

It’s wise to avoid phone calls to the home in the days following a death, as many arrangements are being made, and the family will be overwhelmed by the response.
