What are some good ethics in the japanese culture when there is a death?

Q. My husbands Grandfather passed away a couple days ago. They are Japanese and not very close. We are going to go and visit his Grandmother, any tips will be helpful, should I bring a gift? flowers? a plant? make food? please help thanks or Domo :)

A. In Japan, there is a custom to offer condolence money for a funeral, generally in a specific type of envelope. The amount depends on the relation to the deseased.
Probably you'd better ask your relatives close to your husband's grandmother for advice, including whether the condolence payment is necessary.

What are ways to express condolences for a Russian family?

Q. A friend of mine had his mother-in-law die today from a long fight with cancer. The family is Russian (but lives in the US), and I wanted to send something more than flowers, something that would have personal meaning to them. I looked around for ways to express condolences in Russian, but they were all very religious, and they are not.

Does anyone have any ideas? Phrases, gifts, flowers, etc?

Thank you,
Erick
