Nobody knows what to say if they aren't close with the person they are talking to, so instead of standing there in awkward silence they say something benign like that.
"They are in a better place" is a bad thing to say even though it's not meant that way. You could have the most devout religious person in the world, but they don't want to hear that their loved one is some place better than right there with them.
You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American
