Can I send an funeral arrangement to a colleague from just myself or should I chip in with a group of people?

Whatever works for you both options are appropriate. Many people may choose a group of coworkers to go in on a funeral arrangement for a colleague, however there is nothing wrong with sending an arrangement just from you.

 

Sending a Colleague an Arrangement From Just You.

If you want to send a small arrangement from just you here are two good examples

 

 

Sending a Colleague and Arrangement From a Group

However if your looking to spend a little less going chipping in with a group of people will allow you to send a larger arrangement for less money. Say you and three other people went in on an item, like the one shown below, that is $74.95 then between the four of you it would be $18.73.

Your options change drastically by sending an arrangement between multiple people. Here is a $199.95 arrangement, if you split that 4 ways it still only leaves you with $49.99 per person. 

 

 

What would be an appropriate size arrangement to send for a colleague?

Sizes of the arrangements are shown under the product description. Most of our arrangements are appropriately sized for a funeral home. Arrangements generally fall into three categories:

Can I add a ribbon with a specific message on it, like a company name?

Unfortunately we are unable to put a company name or who the arrangement is from on the ribbon. The script that goes on the ribbon are preprinted sayings, like “Grandfather”, or “Brother”. However if you wished the ribbon to say Friend that would be appropriate.

 

How to add a friend ribbon:

  • Find the Special Delivery Instructions box
  • Type “Ribbon: Friend”
  • Proceed with placing the order.

 

When filling out the card message be sure to include 

  • A short but sweet message to comfort the family
  • All of your names (especially with a group of people)
  • The company or place that you were colleagues

 

What are some examples of card messages that would be appropriate for a colleague?

  • With deepest sympathy.
  • My/Our heartfelt sympathy.
  • My/Our thoughts are with you at your time of need.
  • With deep sorrow and fond remembrance.
