Buddhist":
My dad's wife's brother passed away unexpectedly and I want to send flowers or something but am not sure what the Buddhist tradition is for paying respects. If I can do something to help the family with arrangements that don;t have to do with funeral arrangements, like buying supplies they may need to take to the funeral home or send the type of flowers normally at a Buddhist funeral, or maybe even donate money to the temple on the decease's behalf. But I don't want to do anything to offend anyone either. Any suggestions?

Suggest you ask Dad. Or Dad's wife. Or some such other person. They will best be able to direct you as to what is needed, and how to best help and pay your respects.
