It's a great Mitzva to comfort mourners - we learn (Breishis 25:11) that Hashem comforted Yitzchak Avinu when Avraham Avinu died.
When comforting mourners one should not initiate a conversation. It's up to the mourner to speak first.
If a mourner hints that the comforters should leave, they are not permitted to stay.
