Business Condolences

Not only is it my lawyer, the family used to be neighbors of mine where I lived. The whole family is in legal cases, so they are not lacking for money. The viewing hours are tomorrow. Is it acceptable to go after my condolences without having to go to the funeral?

I think you should make a charitable donation in his name. Affluent families are generally more sensitive to this feeling as flowers or cards.

Send flowers to the office.

if you are as close as you say ....... lack of work is be there for them for the funeral. This is where your time is valuable.

It is good to attend the wake and not the funeral, and be sure to send flowers.

Yes, it is acceptable. That's exactly what I would do, too. Just let them know how you're sorry and that's all you can do.

A handwritten sympathy card, sent for her, send flowers and to attend more. If you can not attend the funeral, it would be nice, but it's not something anyone could reasonably find fault with you for failing.

Sure

Visit the funeral home to sign the book, often wakes up more like gatherings of close family and friends who came close to you may not send a welcome card.You do not have to stay for the funeral just to sign this book. The book is one of the most important.

Any expression of sympathy would ppreciated ... attend no later attend the funeral is fine. Do what works for you.
