Lilies are a christian symbol of the resurrection, which is why they are also prominent at Easter (a celebration of the resurrection of Christ). Lilies at christian funerals are a reminder that the body will be resurrected someday when Jesus returns. As to why it is specifically lilies that are the symbol, it is because they tend to bloom around Easter time.
