A small bouquet or if there are any charities the family has made an option for donating to is appropriate.
A sympathy or condolence card is also acceptable.

Send some food. Food is so needed when someone dies. Send them a large muffin basket or a cheese and meat basket. Dont bother with the flowers. What a waste of money, and they just create more work, when they wilt and the petals and crap falls off. Help them out and send them some food to feed the numerous relatives and friends that are in town and eating up all their food, seriously. Its so good to get food contributions, when someone dies. It can be devastating financially to have to feed all thsoe people.

No flowers... send a potted plant (it will last a lot longer) or a fruit/food basket. Either way, send a condolense card.

I think it would be right to send flowers with a card showing your condolenses.

A simple flower arrangement with a condolence note is fine.

when someone in our department died, most of our vendors sent us flowers. we thought that was very nice. i'm thinking flowers would be the best gift to send in this situation.

A clients ....Bosses....wife.....you are too far removed for anything other than a card.
The client should send flowers but have you even met the boss or his wife. if not then just a card will do.

Send white flowers, no carnations with a sympathy card to the funeral home.
