An elderly relative of mine died recently and my father sent me a link to this. I wish I'd had this a year ago.
The site has commercial purpose - they're trying to sell you the authors' books and various other services, but the raw info is quite useful.
ETA: davidfcooper pointed in comments to this site: http://www.jewcy.com/religion-and-beliefs/how_make_shiva_call which is nominally about how Jews handle Shiva, the period of mourning and customs right after a death. Some of it is Jew-specific but their first and last point bears repeating: "it's not about you".
