Hey folks. I have a friend who is Jewish. His mother just died and the funeral is Tomorrow. I'd like to show up and show my support but I know nothing about Jewish customs. My friend is non-practicing, and I believe his mother was what he calls a "high holiday" Jew. The funeral is at synagogue, and I do not know if the rest of the family is practicing or not. So, if anyone could tell me what the custom is for a non Jew attending a Jewish Funeral. Thanks in advance!
You can try to google up the topic, but if nothing else, wear subdued clothing and just show up. I highly doubt an ordinary person would find your support unwelcome if you're not sporting a Yamulke/Kippah. Especially if they have non-practicing members of family.
