"In lieu of flowers" is a phrase commonly used in obituaries or memorial announcements to indicate that the deceased's family prefers donations to a specific charity or cause instead of sending floral arrangements. This request often reflects the family's wishes to honor the deceased's values or support a meaningful cause. It allows friends and loved ones to contribute in a way that can make a positive impact, rather than sending traditional flowers.
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".

Often the term "memorials preferred" is followed by the name of a charity or foundation. That is where the family prefers any gifts of money to be sent. When none is mentioned, the giver can choose where to send the gift. When it goes to the family, it's commonly used for funeral expenses or trusts for any surviving children.
The noun lieu is uncountable. The plural form of lieu is also lieu.
flowers
I have always preferred perennial flowers over annuals.
That is the correct spelling of "lieu" -- used in the phrase "in lieu of" meaning "instead of."
