Words of Sympathy:
When you attend a viewing, wake or funeral, it is a good idea to express some words of sympathy to the kins persons of the perished. The nature of your relationship decides what to say at a funeral.

If you are more intimate with the perished's family members, you can acknowledge your support and sympathy at the funeral services by recognizing their emotions at this time. Say something like, "I know how close you were to your father" or "I know how hard it is to lose a sibling." If you and the kins persons share a religious background, it might be appropriate to offer some words of comfort along the lines of your religious beliefs at the funeral. It's also a kind gesture to ask if there is anything you can do to assist the family at this difficult time, and make the commitment to follow through.
Remembering the perished:
If you knew the perished, whether through work, church or other civil association, you might consider mentioning their contributions. You could say, "James was such a wonderful asset to the company, and he will really be missed." Or, "I so enjoyed working with Antony at our church functions. She had such a friendly smile." This is especially nice if you knew the perished, but not the family. It provides a little intro as to how you knew the perished.

Offer Help:

You can also offer food because those who are grieving don't often eat as they should. There are a hundred ways in which you can help at a funeral. You just have to figure out what is needed and go from there.

Hugs:
There is nothing more welcome to a grieving person than to receive a hug. They may receive a hundred hugs ahead of yours, but you should still give it. That is one of the most important things to do at a funeral. When you feel loss, you need to feel arms wrapped around you tightly. You need to know that someone cares. That is why hugs are one of the most important things that you can do at a funeral.

Last but not least, never speak ill of the dead or tell ridiculous jokes, no matter who it might be. However, you can recall and share the good times you had with the perished when that person was alive. Your goal is to comfort the surviving family members in a most respectful manner and say, in your own way, a final farewell to the dearly departed.
