[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm weirded out by the ones for funerals. If you can't afford a funeral, then you need to cremate and do the cheapest thing possible. The person is dead  - they won't care about what flower arrangement was there. [/quote]

This.

We've opted for cremation. If we're cremating our loved ones, then I'm not chipping in for the fancy funeral for someone else.

I always donate if there is a go fund me for the widow and children when the breadwinner father dies suddenly...even if they seemingly don't need the money. I figure it's good karma...even when I gave $100 to the go fund me for the "kids" in fancy private school and a fancy mcmansion, etc. One family quickly secured $25k+ (in a day or two) and set up a special college fund thanks to north of $200k in gifts. Years later it came out the dad was loaded, heavily insured, and had investments like a Rockefeller. The kids' college funds were already covered. The widow renovated her mcmansion, bought a vacation home, and quit her job. Shrug.[/quote]
