This is an incredibly hard time for anyone and when consoling mourners it is important to do the right thing. Flowers and meanings in a funeral service in different religions are an important part of the funeral process. Sending the wrong arrangement or an offensive color will upset the family and make you look very bad.
Being sensitive about different religions is a wonderful way to make sure that you do not send the wrong thing to the funeral. Some of the more popular religions do not have rules as to what color or style of arraignment to send. Most Christian religions have no specifics for this type of thing.
Although it is polite to send any arrangement to a Christian funeral, you might want to check with the family to see where to send it. It would also be polite to send something that the family wants. Where to send it is another question entirely. Some prefer that you send it to a church, grave, or to the wake. Some religions are not so tolerant.
Although some nonorthodox Jews do not mind flowers and understand that who ever sent them is just being nice, a gift basket or fruit basket is much more appropriate. Some will understand if you send flowers but others will find it offensive. It is not appropriate to send them and if you wish to help out then send a gift or gift basket.
There are several religions that sending flowers is completely appropriate. The Buddhist religion for example welcomes all forms of flowers to the funeral home. Another religion that flowers are welcomed regardless of type is the Mormon religion. It is appropriate to send flowers but not in the shape of a cross. In Eastern Orthodox flowers are appropriate especially white ones.
When you are sending flowers it is important to be sensitive about which religion the deceased practices. Some religions believe in sending flowers, others do not. Most of the time it is not deeply offensive to violate tradition but you do not want to make this time any worse for the family.
