When attending a funeral or wake, it is customary to bring food to the grieving family. But with so much on their plate already, you may wonder what kind of food is appropriate. A good rule of thumb is to bring something simple that can be easily reheated. Casseroles, soup, and chili are all great options. You should also avoid anything that requires a lot of preparation, as the family will likely not have the time or energy to deal with it. And while you may be tempted to bring a dessert, it's best to stick with savory dishes. In this challenging time, the family's last need is one more sweet reminder of their loss.
