How to Behave at a friend's mother's Funeral?
Okay, so my friend/aqquantince's mother just passed. The funeral is tonight. Since I don't really know him all that well, I don't know exactly how to behave. After all it's only a visitation. Do I just go up to him and his dad and say "I'm sorry about your loss" blah blah blah, or something more? please respond soon!

Try to keep it simple and polite. Don't get over emotional or talk too much as it won't look genuine. If you are introduced to the father/members of the family you should show your respects by saying that you are sorry for their loss. Don't go out of your way to do this however. Just try to stay close to your friend most of the night, as your main role should probably be to support them through the event.

You just say Im sorry about the loss h
Then you put your head down and walk away too much will just get the person even more upset

just be real, don't add extras if it isn't in your heart, they can tell. Just tell him you're sorry for his loss, and move on. If you aren't really close I doubt he'll expect for you to do too much.
Good luck
