[quote=Anonymous]I had never heard of giving money in a sympathy card either, until my dad died. I would say about half the cards had money in them. When I asked older family members they said it was customary to give money to help offset the cost of the funeral. This was in the Midwest and my family was blue collar so I don't know if this is regional/socioeconomic-related or not, but ever since then when I have a relative pass, I include some money in the card. My thought is that if they don't need it to help pay for the funeral, they can donate it to a favorite charity of the deceased. The posters on DCUM skew high income and probably have no idea what a hardship it can be to pay for the funeral for some families. [/quote]
