maybe I shouldn't feel this way. But I found no comfort
at all during the wake and funeral. Or even during the
days and days of visits from friends and loved ones.
So I think sending a card and expressing your condolences
is enough. Unless there's something you can actually do for
the family without intruding on their time of grief and sorrow.

I agree with you. When my husband's mother died, he and his sisters felt very distraught at having to comfort all of the family and friends at the wake/funeral when they were the one who needed comforted. It made a hard time for the family even harder
