Lilies I would say. Although I love lilies & buy them for myself.

It's usual to have white Lillie's. Purple is also a colour they often use at funerals and sad occasions. I would go for white Lillie's with maybe a purple bow or ribbon.

If you wish to send flowers to the family home, although it is to express your condolences on a loss, there are no particular flowers to be used. Perhaps if you know of the person's favourite flowers, you could have a bouquet made up at the florist. If you do not have this knowledge, have a bouquet made of brightly coloured flowers to give upliftment at this sad time with an appropriate handwritten card by yourself.

personally, i wouldn't send lillies, the scent reminds me too much of death and it lingeurs to much too. also you have the problem of the pollen staining clothes and skin. i find them very overpowering and problematic. i would send something very simple, but im afraid my knowledge of flowers is not great.

White lillies or if you are close to the family/person try sending a rose bush so that they can plant it in the garden to always remind them.
