I don't know much, although similar to Japanese funerals you send envelopes of money (I think).
Here are a couple of links I found, hopefully this will help until you get a better answer.
This one mentions the money envelope:

"When the co-founder of my college died, being both old and very important her funeral was a full-on no expenses barred event. First we had to visit the special building in the hospital complex where she had died to bow to her photo on an altar, to give our condolence envelope of money and to have a small meal and a drink in her memory. Everywhere were white flowers, occasionally interspersed with yellow blooms, and the immediate family and close friends spent the two days of this part of the funeral process at the hospital bowing and receiving guests. "

I'm sorry about your mentor, Marina.

Thank you tremendously for the links. They really helped me understand what to do. Don't want to show up and anger his family, since he was very much a father figure to me.
