I am assuming you mean "What should a non-Jew do at a Jewish funeral?" If that is your question, then the answer is: don't do anything that stands out. Just follow the lead of those around you, carrying yourself in a conservative manner. Wear business attire and sit in the appropriate section by gender. Remain quiet for the funeral service and the burial service. Do not accept any offers for participation in carrying or moving the casket or filling in the grave, as these should be performed by Jews.

At a Jewish funeral can a Non-Jew lead the unveiling of a headstone?
The rituals surrounding death and burial in Judaism are very specific. The funeral must be lead by either a rabbi or someone Jewish (in non-Orthodox communities, it can be either a Jewish man or woman). Although it might be acceptable for a non-Jew to speak at a Jewish funeral in some communities, it would never be appropriate for that person to speak on behalf of the family.
