Although it is polite to send any arrangement to a Christian funeral, you might want to check with the family to see where to send it. It would also be polite to send something that the family wants. Where to send it is another question entirely. Some prefer that you send it to a church, grave, or to the wake. Some religions are not so tolerant.
In most religions it is not at all offensive. It might just not be wanted. Sending a fruit or gift basket is appropriate in these cases. The Jewish faith prefers this as a form of sympathy. They do not believe that flowers are a good thing at the funeral.
