Attending a funeral doesn't mean life stops. Depending on how close the deceased was, your friend might appreciate getting back to a normal routine.

I absolutely agree.
I think you might be over thinking this a bit. Just invite your friend to dinner and give him his gift.

I think it will probably be OK. I guess there are a frw circumstances where it could be strange - sorry your mom died, here's a pinata.

Perhaps your friend would enjoy knowing about the symbolism of the gift? I would, but I love learning about new cultures.

Seeing as how he came from a funeral, probably not.
Thanks guys. I'm probably just overthinking this. I tend to be very cautious with sensitive matters like these.

Why not? I think you are over thinking things. Unless this was an exceptionally close family member most people go back to life as usual a day or two after the funeral. It's sad, but it doesn't really change your life that much that great-aunt sally passed away. And if it is a very close person and your life will never be the same, then you welcome distractions and the ideas that life goes on - you can't mourn 24 -7 - you need some relief from that.
