I suggest taking a little bit of money, buying a card and a flower boquet and have it sent for the funeral.
I know thats probably not the answer you're looking for, but times are tough and without a job, you shouldn't be spending your savings

Forgive me for seconding this sentiment. Not everyone can make a funeral, even with the bereavement rate. I'm sure you'll select a wonderful arrangement and card.
My sympathies to both you and your best friend.
