Tips for Attending a Janazah for the First Time

Salam. Someone dear to me has passed, and I'll be at their Janazah soon. I'm not Muslim and haven't been to one before, so I'm a bit unsure. I know to dress modestly and not bring gifts for the family, but is there anything else? Also, is it okay to cry quietly? I'd never wail or raise my voice, just maybe some tears. Any advice is really appreciated, jazakAllah khair.

You're sweet for worrying about this. Just be there, that's enough. If you're unsure, watch what others do or ask someone quietly. No one will judge you.

They might serve food after, don't feel pressured to stay. Just offer your condolences, maybe a hug if appropriate. Your presence means a lot.
