In the Islamic religion, mourning lasts for 3 days. During these 3 days, prayers are recited to accompany the deceased, and it is also during this period that the family receives condolences from relatives and friends of the deceased.
Of course, you can offer your condolences directly to the family, in person if you have the opportunity, but you can also send your condolences via text message or WhatsApp if the family is far away and you cannot travel.
Also, note that sending flowers is not recommended for Muslim mourning, as it is considered superfluous.
