Yea, it's tough. Flowers are indeed a nice touch, and being their friend are two simple, yet sometimes the hardest to do.
No one likes death, it's a part of life no one expects, however, I've witnessed firsthand how some people tend to drop all contact until they fell it is "alrite" to talk to the person.
Don't do that. If you can't go to the wake/funeral, call them up and leave a message. Even just talking and listening is abig help.
If you think it's rough to venture into a situation like that, just imagine how the other person feels - no one in that situation usually opens up voluntarily and shouldn't have to.
Most of the time the person wants to express how happy of a time they had with the person when they were alive, others wish they could have spent more time, etc..
Just be a friend and let them get it off their chest. They need it.
