I found out today that a very good friend passed away last night. I have never been to any kind of funeral service or wake or any ting. There will be a memorial service at a church and then a celebration of his life at a local bar. Do I have to bring any thing special? or do anything? I am so lost. I know some people bring food and stuff...what is the best thing to make (except a casserole!!) Also, anybody has any ideas on what I can say to his family? or speak for him? I've never done this before, and I'm so nerve wrecked from losing him that I can't really think of anything or know of what I should say.
As they all wrote above is 100% correct cause when you show up an it will make a big difference cause just being there will speak high volumes of Urself an how much the Family will really appreciate you just being there an also will show them that their son had a lot of friends an people who cared about/for him also.Cause I've been in your place a lot an have had to attend a lot of funerals an wakes afterwards.
I asked and they skirted around it they said "bring a dish of food if you want, but you don't have to. just bring yourself" which doens't help at all! obviously I'm not going tos how up empty handed you know.
The family is looking for support and to celebrate your friend's life with those that knew and loved him. They really could care less about the food. No one will notice or care if you don't bring anything.
As for the food just ask the family if there is anything they want you to bring..
And for the speech talk about all the great times you had together.
im sorry
