You might like to go for your friend. I'd send a card to your friend and to his family. I'm there is no need to send flowers unless you'd like to give some to your friend later.

I have a bit of a similar dilemma with my sister in law's mother who is fading in hospital. I will go for sil and DN but not sure what else to do apart from sending cards.

I'm a big believer in sending cards to show you are thinking of someone who is rather more remotely connected.

My best mate lost her brother this week. I knew him as a child; same age as me. But to be honest probably wouldn't have known him from Adam if I passed him in the street. My quandary is, do I go to the funeral ? I don't want to be a hypocrite but neither do I want to appear insensitive? Do I just send a card & flowers (if accepted)
Such a difficult and very sensitive time but I don't want to get it wrong.
Any suggestions......?
