What to send a mourning family

My friends close relative passed away suddenly and I live out of state and wanted to do something for her family since I cannot attend the services.

We are jewish, so typically I would send food. They are catholic - what is the most appropriate gesture?

Food. And food that doesn’t need a special process for reheating the next day.

Seamless offers e-gift cards now...if they live in an area that Seamless offers delivery to, that's a good idea. They may be inundated with trays of food, and this way they could use the gift card at their convenience.

Is there a local restaurant or food delivery service? Fresh direct or something like that?

We got dish gardens when my grandparents died 10+ years ago that my parents still have today.

Food is tough because SO many people send food. Still a lovely gesture though. Maybe send it the week after the services?
