You could console the relatives of the deceased by saying:" Please accept my deepest condolences".

Re: what can i say at death situation?
I believe
condole
is in fact a word and "Please accept my deepest condolences" would be correct.
Latin condolēre,
to feel another's pain
: Latin com-,
com-
+ Latin dolēre,
to grieve

Is it correct to say, "Thanks
to
all of you" ?
Re-
condole
condole - Definitions from Dictionary.com
We can also say when a loved one passed away... " I will see you in heaven!"
