Depending on the day of the week the funeral will be held, if you just order a spray or a wreath, you get the oldest flowers in the shop, they only need to be there for one day. Carnations are cheap and florists usually have a lot of them. Special orders such as orchids and lilies are more expensive and are seldom on hand unless its a really big popular shop. The deceased's favorite is always a nice touch. Recently, a live plant is sent to commerate the person's life and and life in the hereafter. The deceased's family can take it with.

Send a wreath style arrangement filled with the favorite flower of the deceased or send the favorite flower of the mother of the deceased.
If your not sure exactly what the favorite flowers are, sending red/white roses will show a loving respect for the family and the deceased.

It used to be the lily, but people use carnations a lot now because they are not too expensive and are the right size to make wreaths and things.
I would say use what ever you like, the idea of using whatever was the deceased's favourite is the best bet.

I was always told Daises are the 'Death Flower'. Not sure why, maybe because they last long and withering flowers are not what you want to see on a coffin.

White carnations and white roses are usually appropriate. Don't do anything too colorful, because its considered disrespectful. Sticking with white will always prevent you from causing yourself undue embarrassment.

I'm guessing roses are the most popular.
