i think this is something that you should ask the imam.

a similar thread was started in sisters lounge and some of the sisters said that you can go but you shouldn't go to the coffin. while another one said that you can't go at all.

the answer should be no, because a funeral is a religious service and you shouldnt do other religions customs even if you dont mean it. i think you should just send a card or some flowers that way you are showing that you do case.
