Thank you soo much for the input...
i like both the 'plant' ideas and the White roses... I guess i will send White roses to the Funeral service and bring plants and Gifts when i visit the family after Funeral.
My next question is: How long should i wait after Funeral, to visit the family?
I am very close to the person that had passed away...but never really meet his family...
please help...

Did the deceased have a favorite flower? If so, include those in the arrangement. I usually just tell the florist that it's a funeral arrangement and they take care of the rest. Now, this is for delivery to the Funeral Home.

If you are talking about sending flowers to the family, don't ask for a funeral arrangement. That would be awful. Instead, send a pretty FTD or Teleflora bouquet to their home.

By the way, any color is appropriate. Red is for passion -- and can also mean passion for the beauty of life. It is very appropriate for funerals. Pink is for love. White for purity. Yellow for friendship.

Roses are fine and any color. Of course the flower shop will be a big help in deciding what array to use and of course there are price ranges. Usually you will pick an arrangement of style and type of flowers by who the person was, and what they were like. You may also pick an array that reflects the time of the year or season.

Id suggest sending a trio of house plants, that way the family can bring it home and have something living to remind them of what they lost.

A mixed bouquet is best or even a plant. When my mom passed away we had some people send plants and every time I see and take care of them it reminds me of her and how her spirit lives on.

Lilies, roses, and carnations are traditional for funerals. I would stick to white or predominantly white arrangements.

there are all sorts of rules about flowers. i think for the most part only a few people know anything of the rules and they are people who are really into flowers.
when you call the florist ask them for suggestions also call the undertaker and ask if there have been any special request regrading flowers or gifts often there have been .

White is the traditional colour of mourning in many cultures. What you send is not as important as the gesture itself.
