Yeah, just keep things simple and reserved would be my advice. Greet your friend and immediately ask how he is holding up, offer to do whatever he needs, etc.
Here's something NOT to do: while standing in line during the viewing of the body, don't keep wearing your bluetooth headset for your phone. Also, don't take a phone call and hold a conversation whilst standing in said line.
Yeah, I witnessed this atrocity at a viewing early this year. I'm not exactly Miss Manners or anything, but shouldn't you have some sort of common sense and decency not to do this??
