Lilies usually arrive in bud and open over the next few days, so the bouquet actually gets better after it's delivered. They're also one of the most fragrant flowers you can send.
White lilies are the usual choice for condolences. Pink and orange feel more cheerful and suit birthdays and congratulations.
One tip: the orange pollen stains clothes and tablecloths. Pinch the anthers off as the flowers open and the bouquet stays clean. Lilies are toxic to cats, so pick something else if the recipient has one.
