Explanation of Other Options:

B . Offer flexible hours: Helpful but secondary to bereavement leave.

C . Offer emotional assistance: A supportive measure but not a core bereavement policy practice.

I agree, a comprehensive approach like that is definitely the best practice. You don't want to just send a generic mass email, that's kind of impersonal.

A, B, and C all seem like great options to support employees during a difficult time. Offering a mix of time-off, flexible hours, and emotional assistance is the way to go.
