A member of the clergy told me that the most helpful gesture hug; if words fail, give it silently. Your friend may. appreciate. your offer to telephone others with the sad news. Ask if there are some people who should be called by relatives instead or omitted from your telephone list. If you're able, bake a casserole or cookies to help feed relatives and visitors. Offer to line up baby sitters and do other errands If you hardly knew or never met the deceased member of your friend's family, you need not attend the funeral itself; offer to mind the home while services are on. But if you were close to that per- son, your presence at the funeral is expected. ) If the service is being conducted ina church rather than a funeral parlour, a floral arrangement isusually w8icome. But some families prefer donations to a charity in lieu of flowers; respect their wishes. Call the funeral home if in doubt. A handwritten card or note to your friend's family is also ap propriate; if you fondly remember an event involving the loved one, mention it.
