Yes, unless the family requests otherwise, flowers are sent to the funeraL home where the wake service takes place. They are then brought to the cemetery after the Funeral Mass, and placed by the body.

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.
No - just send thank you notes to the person/company responsible for sending the flowers on behalf of everyone else.
