Best Answer

Flowers should not be sent to a Hindu funeral. If a friend wishes to send flowers, it is best to send them after the funeral and cremation, so they are not part of the ceremony. Hindis' use Tulsi, a relative of Basil at the funeral. This is used to pass health benefits on to the dead before their next life begins. The lotus is an important and sacred flower and it is linked to good health and virility. Family members may place lotus flowers and Tulsi over the body of the deceased.

Hindu funerals are different from western funerals. During Hindu funerals flowers are not welcomed during the services. It will annoy the family and those who are performing the service.
