Condolences visit

[Holymolymackerel]

My dh is going to see his late friend's dad and step mum to express his condolences. (Mum is predeceased). Friend and dad known by my dh for 35 years ish not as close now but as teenagers and twenties like brothers.

We are on holiday when the funeral takes place hence the visit.

Should my dh take anything? I would normally say flowers but that doesn't seem right.

Thanks

I wouldn't think so. Photos maybe if he has some that the dad might like to see (and hasn't seen before).

I think the important thing is to acknowledge their loss and let them talk about their son.

Flowers would be lovely. It doesn’t really matter what, if anything, he takes. They’ll really appreciate the visit.

Memories of his friend. Just a couple of "do you remember when we did X" or "did you ever find out about the time we played X prank?" Something funny and happy.
