What is traditional to send to a Korean family in mourning? Flowers? Food?

My co-worker's cousin died suddenly and we are not sure if he is Buddhist or not, but he is definitely Korean. We would like to be as appropriate as possible in sending gifts to the family. Also, would it be appreciated if 2 close co-workers were to attend the funeral? Help is greatly appreciated!!

From looking things up on the net, apparently the most common gift is money to the family, whether they send choose to bury it with the loved one or use it as expenses, they apparently pass along money as a funeral "gift".
Reply:maybe a nice plant, im sure it would be alright to attend the funeral ,
Reply:you might read up on this some cultural only use certain colors for funerals or accept certain gifts so you don't want to offend.
