The rituals of a Buddhist funerals vary with the tradition (Theravada, Mahayana, Tibetan) and sect. The social aspects (dress, interaction, meal) of the funeral depend on the congregation and the country or cultural group they are in (an American Buddhist funeral might be more like other American funerals than Chinese funerals)
If you are attending such an event call the funeral home if one is being used or a relative who is Buddhist to get the details of what goes on. If you are only going as a social thing (coworker etc.) go but plan on getting no freebies.
