Most people don't know what to say to relatives of a dead person at a funeral - this is a fact of life.
I've seen it too often.
Probably you've seen it too.
When grandpa croaked in June, an obnoxious relative said to his grieving wife in a loud voice: "You will get over it with time. I know how you feel, I was like that too when my man died."
What a horrible thing to say.
I bought flowers and waited until I could have a moment with granny's sister.
"Grandma, I feel awful about what happened, please accept my condolances." I said.
....
What more is there to say anyway...
I love funeral and I keep a special black suit, black socks and black shoes always at the ready for funeral.
I also wanted to prepare a special suit for my own funeral and tell mom and dad where I will keep it but when I tried to tell them my mom screamed in horror.
"STOP!!! I don't want to hear!"
Not good living in denial mom.
Then my stupid sister said,
"What about my funeral, I wanna have a special dress too..."
My mom was stupefied.
