    As you say you are new to the company, so check with your boss before doing anything - it's 100 Euro plus your day off.

    We had a few down-the-country family bereavements at my last org. Nobody ever went in-person, but the manager would send a message to the team and a link to the deceased RIP.ie link for us to leave a note. It still shows you are thinking of them.

    As a line manager, be ready to give them some leeway when they're back at work if you can and if they need it. Once you get guidance from HR regarding the travel part, you could consider calling her or sending a card to express condolences.

    I remember being away with a colleague in Germany 20~ years ago when he was told that his mum died back home in Scotland. In that situation, the local HR manager flew over to represent the company at the funeral. I suspect sending someone is less likely to happen nowadays, especially as more people work some distance away from their home places etc.
