All of this is pretty solid OP, except the plant should be a tree if you think she is wife/mother material. You have a shot for one of the most memorable and romantic things you could ever do for her: The two of you plant a tree in honor of her father. Years from now, when you have children together, you put a tire swing on the tree, and take the kids to connect with Grandpa.
holy shite this is awesome.

I've met this girl recently and we've been out a couple of times
After the funeral:
"Hey, do you wanna go plant a tree with me in his honor? That way when we're married with kids they can swing on grandpa?"

Tell her you'll be there for her the entire time if she wants you to be, but that you understand if she wants to be alone with family for some parts and to just let you know when those times are and that you won't be offended.
As someone who has been to and arranged a lot of funerals, this is the correct answer.

Update
Ok her father passed this past Saturday. His wishes were to be cremated and to have a small memorial service with immediate family. There will be no obituary in the paper. The service is Saturday morning in NOLA. She lives there. She has asked that I come spend a couple of days with her before and through the weekend. There will be no food, flowers etc.
Any suggestions as what to do other than be there for her as requested?

Just be there. As someone stated on the 1st page, she will remember that you were there FOREVER! But it's a good sign that she wants you there.

She told you exactly what to do. What is the issue?

She's telling you what to do. Don't over complicate it.
ETA: remember it's about her and not you

Any suggestions

This is a good answer. You can also have this conversation with her before the funeral. I would tell before the funeral that you are very sorry for her loss and that you want to be there for her in what ever capacity she needs you to be there but that you do not want to in any way make her fathers funeral about you.

Just hang out and go with the flow. You will see pretty quickly how she is handling things and what she needs...which is basically not to feel alone.

She´ll let you know. Offer to be there for the laying out/viewing, the service, and burial.
She´ll tell you what´s too much.
