I'd bring scotch to a wake, but that's me.

Celebrate his life. Dress happy!

Do as you feel; go with your heart.

You have good instincts.

Well, since she is going back on a plane (?), I think I'd make a charitable contribution in his name so she doesn't have to schlep a plant or flowers back with her.

And/OR, wait until she is home and have something special sent. I always prefer a dish garden or terrarium or basket of plants as they last so much longer and are a nice reminder of the deceased. For instance, my mom still has plants from my dad's funeral that arrived in a big basket and the reminder is nice, and comforting, for her even today. And, it's nice when it comes after the funeral hoopla is done and everyone seems to have forgotten about your pain!

As far as your outfit, wear white and tell them yer Asian!! Add glitter, and tell them yer an Asian Elvis impersonator!

Yer welcome!
