Potted plants this time of year

Hi,
I need some help.
I'm organising a funeral for a close friend and there's a slight
difficulty. She hated cut flowers and didn't have them in the house, any
time.
I'm thinking of potted plants/flowers for the funeral service, but
haven't a clue what's available this time of year and how hardy they
might be, if I bought them several days before and how they'd stand up
to a long journey to the crematorium. Budget is a consideration, too.
Any suggestions welcomed, and many thanks in advance.
Why not wait and plant a tree or bush where her ashes are scattered?
Mike
An admirable suggestion, and a long lasting tribute as well.
Bill
Thank you Bill
I have never understood the practice of killing flowers just because someone
has died. Don't go much on cut flowers for anything, be it a bouquet for
some occasion, 'dressing' a room, hall, car, church anything. Let the
flowers grow in their natural environment. Flowers for a wedding. Dozens cut
for the bride, maids, church and what? Dead and forgotten next week :-((
Damn stupid.
Mike
Who doesn't want any flowers when he pops his clogs
Yes, I found the huge, rusty skip full of flowers at the back of the
crematorium depressing
