Upcoming Funeral, not sure what to do

I just talked to my BF on the phone and he mentioned that a good friend from highschool's Mom passed away this am. We are both guessing that there will be services this weekend. This is my weekend to go see him and unless he tells me otherwise I will still go.
I'm not sure if I should offer to go to the wake/funeral with him and be supportive or just hang out at his house and go shopping like I had planned(he normally works part of the day on saturday and I do my own thing) and stay out of the whole thing. I have never met the friend (lives in Texas) nor the mother. I should add that we have been dating for only 3 months so my presence with him would not really be expected.
I've never been in a position like this so I'm not really sure what I should do.

You're making WAYYY too much out of this.........uncomplicate, simplify...
Ask him if he wants you to come this weekend in light of this unexpected situation.
If he says yes.....ask if you should bring clothes to go to the funeral.
If he says yes....pack a dark colored dress.
If he says no don't come......stya home and do your own thing. If he says come and I'd be uncomfortable with you at the funeral - plan not to go...but in reality don't plan to see him much of the weekend. At which point, you should assess if YOU want to drive ther to spend your weekend alone, playing at his house.

I don't think you should feel obligated to
