Grandparent of friend dies, never met or heard about. Do you go? Wife says yeah with our entire family, I say no.

Funeral or funeral home? Usually a visit to the funeral home is enough.

People tend to go to support their friend.

It isn't going to hurt anything unless it is an explicitly small family only thing. If it is a public thing with the funeral open in the obituary then you can assume that it is appropriate. Your friend will probably appreciate it.

If it's local and you feel any sense of obligation, then yes. Wouldn't travel for it for sure.

Send condolences with a Flower arrangement and offer to cook for the family's meal afterwards.

You absolutely go. You go to support your friends, not the deceased. The dead guy could care less, it's the family you show up to support.

If in same city/town/close, go to wake.

You bring entire family? Really? To someone's wake you have never seen? Surprised by y'all's response

Rule I have always heard regarding funerals, If you don't know if you should go or not, you go.

I often go to the funerals of people that I have never met.

Most services have a nice little food spread.
Bring some tupperware or plastic bags and load up.

I've never been one to point this out but I'd say in this particular circumstance we really can't say "how much less could he care?"
Pay respects always either wake or funeral unless you are out of town. Send a card as well.

FWIW it meant a lot to me to see my friends who barely knew my paw paw at his funeral... even if they only stayed for 20-30 minutes, it meant a lot to me that my friends and some coworkers showed up

If its a good friend, then at least try to make it to the wake. Wouldn't be so worried about bringing your entire family out there, but at least show up to either wake or funeral for your friend
