Well you can send flowers to Iran by just Google searching Send Gifts or Flowers to Tehran. I think if you dont know the family you can send a card to your friend and make it as simple as that. You can send flowers in black ribbon and write a nice little card and mail it to the US address. I am sure they will understand especially if you are non-iranian yourself.

sending your condolences is: tasliat migam ' in farsi.
Do a google image search on the term: tasliat
