The question is rather unclear, however the following will be the Maori Funeral Practice (so what would generally happen at a maori funeral.)

Tangi - Maori funeral practice

The tangi or tangihanga embraces the funeral rites accorded a person before the body is finally interred.

The marae

The importance of the tangi being held at the marae (the traditional meeting place of Maori people) is, in part, the fulfilment of the wairua or spiritual being of the Maori.

Urupa

Maori establish urupa (cemeteries or burial places) in association with marae, so whanau (family) can care for the place where their own have been buried.

As to the 'flower' part of your question, at many maori graveyards I have seen flowers, and other small gifts that I would imagine is of great meaning to the family and the person. Also on many head stones, there will be a verse or a quote, that meant a lot to the person whom has passed on.
