[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 629335, member: 135"] I think it must depend on where in the country you live. I'm in the Midwest and here it is very common to send money in the sympathy card. My mother just passed away about a year ago. Some of the cards had money or a check. Those were used for funeral expenses. A few had checks made out to her church to be used as a memorial. Here it is probably more unusual to get a card without money than with. The thinking is that most people need help with funeral expenses, often the money is donated in lieu of flowers, and if you don't need the money you can make a donation in the name of the deceased. Maybe it's because it's a tradition I grew up with but I like it. [/QUOTE]
