You should write to the chief mourner (usually the widow/widower, or oldest child of the deceased).

Avoid giving them advice or expressing religious or philosophical views. Simply express your sympathy. If the gathering after the funeral was in a private home and the host was not the chief mourner, you may also want to write and thank them for their hospitality.

Funerals are such an emotive issue for the bereaved that those who have attended do not expect cards of thanks. However, it may be appropriate to write, even briefly, a note to those who chose to either send flowers, or who have made a donation to your chosen charity in memory of the deceased. If the funeral was quite large, it is also socially acceptable to place a small note of gratitude in the paper where the obituary was placed. However, this gesture is often overlooked.
