Urgent question re funeral attire!

A friend of mine's mother passed away recently, and her funeral is
taking place in about 15 hours. Of course I plan to dress nicely to
show respect: khaki pants, gray french cuff shirt w/ navy and white silk
cufflinks, and a dark navy blazer. I had the idea to go a little extra
bit further, if possible, and include a boutonniere. However, I have no
idea what the etiquette is regarding that. Is it appropriate at all to
wear one? If so, are certain flowers or colors more appropriate than
others?
Please get back to me ASAP, as the time is quickly approaching when I
will have to make my final decision. If possible, I would like to
include a boutonniere, and I think it shows that, not only do I care
enough to dress respectfully, but I also care enough to go out of my way
to procure a boutonniere for only that one occasion. I just want to be
absolutely certain that boutonnieres are not exclusively festive or
anything of that nature. I have been to funerals where they were used
to mark pall bearers, which might be an issue, as well.
Anxiously awaiting your responses! Please respond via the newsgoup.
Thanks!

Generally proper funeral attire is black, though colours are truly up to
you, but really you can't go wrong with a black suit at a funeral. As for
the boutonniere, I think you're better off with a pocket square.

Seems like we had a thread like this about a year ago, and it did not go
well the last time either :)
Sorry about your loss "Anon E. Mouse"

sad as I was afraid it would be. The deceased had seemingly decided to
"let go" and called everyone close to her in individually before she
passed away. They all seemed much more comfortable with her passing
than I thought they might. Her son in particular seemed very well
composed and almost glad that she wouldn't be suffering any further.
I felt quite badly personally, though. I had very often planned to
eventually stop by and visit her, and I always thought I could do it
later. Now I never can, and she probably never even knew that I cared
enough to consider it. I can't change that now, but I hope I have
learned my lesson and will not take anyone else too much for granted.
