NE ND | Is it always expected to give a monetary gift to a family in sympathy card even if you know the deceased had funeral prepaid and family is not financially short of funds? I know that may sound like I am being cheap, but the family was really not in need of the funds and I think it would have been given right back to church in form of memorial gift. I opened my heart and wrote a genuine message in a sympathy card about the person which is really hard for me to do sometimes (not just the "sorry for your loss" typical one). Including a money gift at the time seemed to "cheapen" the sympathy message that I was trying to portray. What is everyone else's opinions on giving for funerals? | |
