Need some help--any DU-ers from/in/familiar with the Czech Republic?

My brother-in-law's father passed away suddenly today -- sadly before his grief-stricken son could reach him. Anyway, though my family has never met his, we want to send flowers but I haven't a clue if I should randomly call a florist in his town (not sure one exists) or if anyone has a recommendation. Or if a mass card is more appropriate or fruit or what. FYI his parents live in Chumutov.

I know this is a stretch but I figured I'd start with my DU family for guidance first.

Thank you!

But thanks, I thought the mass card would have been the thing to do if they were believers.

I'm not familiar with the geography so I have to see if they serve his town. But this is a great lead, thank you!

It really is awful...he was only 68 and this was because of complications from a fall. Aparently they decided to operate on his knee when he had an infection. He was discharged Sunday, then went back in 2 days later...his organs were failing. Horrible and avoidable.
