Mac and cheese is the ultimate comfort food, so it’s easily one of the best sympathy gift ideas. Even more important, it’s quick and easy to make, and it reheats without much fuss or mess. You can pair this with a protein or veggie, or just cook it as-is.

  1. Lasagna

Another crowd favorite is lasagna. It’s easy to create a whole pan or baking tray full of lasagna to share with a family in need. To make this even easier, pack the lasagna in a disposable or old cooking tray you no longer need. This way, the family doesn’t need to worry about returning it.

IDEAS FOR BRINGING THOUGHTFUL AND COMFORTING SYMPATHY MEALS.

  • Make enough, so there are leftovers. You don’t have to make enough for an army but don’t skimp either. They may have an unexpected guest, or like your meal so much they’ll give it another try.
  • Consider lighter fare such as salads, fruits, and cheeses. It is common for sympathy meals to be old-fashioned favorites such as casseroles. Something fresh and light can be a welcome change.
  • Use containers that don’t have to be returned. There are many inexpensive options for packaging food so that the family doesn’t have to track you down to return your containers. Something that can be reused is great, but so are disposable containers that can go from oven to table.

It’s a thoughtful idea to check in with the family to see if you can order them a meal a week or so after the funeral. Some good options include our signature pecan sour cream coffee cake or one of our tasty seasonal recipes, we offer two different sizes for coffee cake delivery so that you can tailor the order to what is appropriate for the occasion. The large serves 20-22 (with slices sized at a generous two inches) and the medium serves 8-10.

That is what makes sympathy food delivery with KamboCake an ideal option. Our cakes are delicious, moist, and beautifully rustic. They are baked to order then shipped the day they are baked so that they will arrive fresh and ready to enjoy or serve.
