When my grandfather died, I remember we got a lot of peace lilies (they're called prayer plants, too). We also got some plain white lilies. You might want to make sure that the family actually wants flowers...sometimes they ask for donations to groups like the American Heart Association or other things like that "in lieu of flowers".

Asking a florist might help too; they usually know what's best to send and how many. From by experience, bouquets are often bigger at funerals.
Reply:Lilies are very safe. Or go with darker flowers, like purples. Call a florist and have them arrange something. They know what's funeral-appropriate. You could send a plant. You don't have to send flowers.
Reply:A white bouquet. Mix it with pastel colors if you like but white is very classy and "pure". Most people prefer you make a donation to a charity of their choice instead of flowers. Ask the family if they wish this...if not then feel free to make a donation to one of your choice and put it on a card. preferably to the reason why he died...cancer, heart disease...something like that.

and its tax deductable (not meant to be tasteless)
Reply:send carnations for they are very pretty and happy and can help them feel better
Reply:Dish gardens are nice for men's funerals and it is something they can keep if they chose to and you can add a few fresh flowers roses or carnations I used to be a florist
Reply:do not send flowers right away. give it a day and see if the family requests in leiu of flowers to make a donation to a charity. i see alot of families doing that now.



but if you know your friend really love flowers go ahead and call up your favorite florist. they will know exactly what flowers are best right now.
Reply:Lilies are always a safe, thoughtful choice. As far as how many, I don't think there is a requirement.
Reply:Lilies or carnations. If you go to a reputable florist they can suggest an appropriate arrangement.
Reply:lilies, carnations, pretty much anything...or have the florist make a suggestion
Reply:When my grandmother died, we recieved a lot of lillies, daisies, and even some roses... call the florist, they can tell you what to get, how many, and how much it will cost. The flowers usually just go to the family, or get donated after the service, so keep that in mind also.
Reply:Before you send flowers, find out if they would rather have money donated in his name. Some families would prefer this over flowers. Most families get so many flowers from the death of a loved one, they don't know what to do with all of them. If this man died while in hospice, it might be nice to donate money to the hospice in lieu of flowers.
Reply:Send family a lovely bouquet of tulips. Remember, every rose has its' thorns.
Reply:If they're Jewish, you shouldn't send flowers, as that's against their religion. Send food instead, like a fruit basket or cake.
