What should I send to my former boss after hearing of the loss of his mother?

I worked for him for several years. What would be appropriate? Flowers? Sent to his family's home or the funeral?

A card and flowers send to his Family home.!
Reply:Depends on how close you are with him and his immediate family i.e. friends, socialize as friends. If yes, then flowers to his home with a card.



If not social friends, but had a business relationship only, a sympathy card sent to his home would be appropriate.
Reply:If you feel reasonably close to him still, flowers are thoughtful, but I think a card with a handwritten note (more than just signing the card) would be welcomed and appropriate.
Reply:well you could do that or you can send a sympathy card or you can send both
Reply:A sympathy card to his home for sure and a modest flower arrangment or living plant to the funeral.
Reply:buy a large leaf ivy with a sympathy card and have it delivered to his home that will be more personal
Reply:if she died of specific disease (cancer, etc) then make $$ contribution to that fund. if she died of natural causes or accident then make contribution to an interest of hers or ur boss's (animal shelter, childrens home, etc)
Reply:A Sympathy card
Reply:If the funeral hasn't taken place, drop by to the funeral home for a short visit and make your condolences. If that's not possible wait a couple weeks and send him a short note tucked in a condolence card. If you are close to him and his family a nice fruit basket would be very nice as well. A phone call shortly after the funeral would also be nice. All of these options are fine, there in no one way to do this...nothing is right or wrong here. Do what feels right for you and trust me, he will be very thank-full.
Reply:I would send a plant and a sympathy card to his family at the funeral home.
Reply:Send flowers to the funeral home, and a sympathy card to the family home.
Reply:Attending the funeral in person. Show some respect.
Reply:ild send them to his home with a sypathy card. well I guess that really depends on how well you knew his mother.
Reply:It would be appropriate and appreciated for you to send flowers to the funeral home and a card to his home. Hope this helps, good luck%26gt;
Reply:A basket of fruit and treats is always nice.
Reply:Flowers with a sympathy card. You may send them to either place.
Reply:i would send a very nice card and maybe some flowers to the funeral home
Reply:Send a flower arrangement to the funeral home and/or a fruit basket or other useful gift to their home.
