Condolences for the family altar

Recently another person in my apartment building lost her mother. I'm not close to her, but I wanted to give something as a condolence. Upon consulting a friend, I found a good thing to do in Japan is give flowers or sweets. These are placed upon the butsudan, or Buddhist family altar, as offerings to the departed.

ONE GOOD DEED: Give a neighbor sweets as condolences for a lost parent.
