I am so very sorry for your loss...
The flowers are very nice. I like them a lot. I don't think anyone would have a problem with you picking those. I like them all white, too.
When my parents died the casket was only open half way. The entire length of the body was not displayed. In that instance the spray would go across the lower half of the casket. Once the casket is closed, it would go across the center.
As far as an outfit for my Mom, we picked her favorite "go to" outfit. It was a black & white blouse with black pants and her favorite shoes. Because the casket was only half opened, no one saw that she had pants on. Anyway, she never wore a dress so we didn't want to put her in something that she never would have worn when she was alive. We brought a picture to the funeral home and they did her hair and makeup based on that picture.
The funny thing was that the woman who did the hair for the funeral home was one on the hairdressers at the salon that my Mom had gone to when she was alive! So she really didn't need a picture!
