In lieu of flowers, you are requested to blow yourself up in the name of Allah, and take as many infidels with you as possible. Osama thanks you.

Radical Indonesian Muslim Group to Hold Mass Prayer for bin Laden
Osama bin-Laden addresses a news conference in Afghanistan May 26, 1998
The Islamic Defenders Front, a radical Indonesian Muslim group in Jakarta, announced plans to hold "a mass prayer for Bin Laden," CNN reports.
In a text message to the media, the Islamic Defenders Front announced its prayer service just two days after the world's most wanted man was killed and buried by U.S. special forces. Mourners were invited to “express gratitude to the late martyr Sheikh Osama bin Laden.” The service will take place in Jakarta, the capital of one of the world's most populous Muslim-majority nations on Wednesday.
Al-Qaeda has ties to Indonesian terrorists and radical groups dating back about three decades. The Islamic Defenders Front is known for attacking Jakarta nightclubs and threatening Westerners, according to Jane's Terrorism & Security Monitor. Indonesia's Foreign Affairs Minister Marty Natalegawa said on Tuesday that security measures had been escalated for the meeting of ten Southeast Asian leaders in Jakarta this Saturday.
Among some conservative and radical Muslim groups, news of bin Laden's death has caused anger, reports the Jakarta Globe. The Indonesia Council of Ulema (MUI), the country's highest Islamic body, slammed the US decision to bury bin Laden at sea: “A Muslim, whatever his profession, even a criminal, their rites must be respected. There must be a prayer and the body should be wrapped in white cloth before being buried in the earth, not at sea,” MUI chief Amidhan said. The United States says bin Laden received Muslim rites but his body was “eased” into the Arabian Sea so no one could turn his grave into a shrine.
