Ideas for Sympathy

What actually works

There is nothing here to fix, so the gift is only saying that you noticed and that you are still around. Food needing no preparation, something living to tend, or a practical contribution do more than anything decorative. Timing matters as much as the gift: the weeks after the funeral, once everyone else has gone back to normal, are usually the harder ones.

The usual mistake

Sending something in the first few days and then going quiet. Arriving later, when it is no longer busy, is worth considerably more.
