Make sure you support your best friend. Be there for him/her. Also you can send a card to his/her parents, and of course you have to attent the funeral (Unless its private). If your best friend is sad about loosing her/his family member, make sure you talk about it together, not just the first days but for the next while as long as he/she wants to. Main thing: just be a good friend and don't shy away, for right now you are needed. All the best!

Send a sympathy card, and if you can afford it, some flowers to the funeral home/cemetary, or a live plant to the family.
Simply let them know how sorry you are for their loss, and let them take it from there. If they want to talk, you be the ears, if they want to be left alone, give them a hug as you leave and a phone call later.
Bring over something to eat, meat, cheese, crackers, a pot of something you know they may like.

perhaps that you attend the funeral to show your respects especially if you know your friends family and often chat with them when at their house. Then after the funeral just spend some time with your friend and perhaps bring other friends after so you can just hang out and try and cheer your friend up.

Be helpful, but don't go overboard. It is customary to send flowers, and bring home-made food. If you feel compelled, you can add a card volunteering to help out with whatever.

well that happened to me the best thing is to tell her that you will be there for her and that you care about her she might need some alone time though so dont be all in her face and stuff unless she needs you
