There is no American custom about wearing a flower at a funeral of your own doing. We do have a custom of the pall bearers wearing a boutonniere, which is given and placed on them by an attendant from the mortuary. Those flowers are removed from the man's lapel after the casket is placed at the grave, and put on top of the casket, or tossed into the open grave if the casket has been lowered before the guests leave.

It is not appropriate to wear a flower to a funeral.

No ,it is not at all usual for the flower to be from one of the arrangements! You needn't wear any flower since it's a matter of taste and not etiquette. If you wish to, one red or white rose would be appropriate for the lapel on a man's suit and also on the jacket of a dress or above the heart on a blouse.

no one wears flowers to a funeral, flowers are intended for joyous events like weddings. At a funeral, flowers are only for the grave and the one who has died.

It completely depends on the arrangements for the service, etc., but you're usually good with a red rose.
