He was Persian, though I don't know offhand if he was Muslim or Christian.</p> <p>I'm trying to prepare myself for an cultural sensitivities and what I might need to do to follow suit if they go with a traditional Persian funeral. If any of you have any insight, or any websites I should check out, please let me know. Google hasn't been very helpful, other than in Iran most people are buried quickly and in linen (similar to my own Jewish background). </p> <p>Also - are flowers acceptable?</p> <p>Thank you. :crying: </p>
