Sending flowers to a funeral home for a co-worker..

Question - a co-workers sister died and the funeral is in Seattle. I volunteered to send the flowers, but what do I send? I will call the funeral home in Seattle and ask for a Florist, but what kind of arrangement do I send from my company?

Also, What do I write on the card? It's from my company, so I'm thinking something pretty generic?

To the X family-

Our condolensces and thoughts are with you.

Your friends at "company name here"

Good?

I would get a wreath.

what you suggest to write on the card is perfect.

Re: Sending flowers to a funeral home for a co-worker..

what you wrote sounds great, but ask the funeral home or florist what floral arrangement is good for your sitatuation. I WOULDN"T get a wreath (my family tends to get them from family members). At wakes I've been to, I've seen the work floral arrangements and then tend to be smaller than family ones.
