Of course! Flowers are always appreciated at Mormon funerals and memorials. It is also becoming increasingly popular to donate money to a charity that the deceased would have supported and send a card saying that in lieu of flowers you donated money to that charity in their honor.
An event that takes place after people die in order to preserve the memory of that person Is at times also a "gift" of money which usually helps with the costs following that person's death. It will sometimes read on the obituary, "In lieu of flowers, memorials preferred".

"Lieu of flowers" in an obituary means that the family is requesting that instead of sending flowers for the funeral, mourners can make a donation to a specified charity or cause in memory of the deceased. It is a way for family members to honor their loved one's memory through charitable giving.

When an obituary states "memorials preferred," it usually means that the family prefers that donations or contributions be made in honor of the deceased, although a specific organization is not mentioned. This leaves it open for friends and family to choose a charity or cause that was meaningful to the deceased.

The noun lieu is uncountable. The plural form of lieu is also lieu.
I have always preferred perennial flowers over annuals.
