Question ????

My friend%26#039;s dad passed away and I want to get her a sympathy card, in my culture, we usually put money in the card. Is it appropriate to do that here in the US, I am not really sure on that one, I know I have other options such as a fruit platter or flowers but I am not sure about putting some form of money in there

Question ????
I know PLENTY of people who put money in the cards. When a coworkers family member dies we take up a collection and put it in a card. They could use the money. Im sure most people have a lot of bills to pay for with a funeral.
Reply:Yes, a monetary gift is fine. Cash comes in very handy for little things. When I lost my mother one friend gave me $20 in a card and I used it to buy breads, fruit and juice for visiting family one morning. For some reason I%26#039;ve always remembered that $20.





I%26#039;m a city girl, but I have Southern US roots. When someone passes we %26quot;take care%26quot; of the family. Food, desserts, cases of water, monetary gifts, etc. The financial condition of the family is not the governing factor. We do it for everyone.





You are a kind friend. Your show of support will be greatly appreciated!
Reply:No money is not typically put in a sympathy card. Flowers are usually sent or if the family requests you can donate some money to the charity of thier choice.
Reply:we do the same (putting money w/sympathy card) and i know many others that do also.
Reply:No money. Just a card and some flowers would be nice.
Reply:Not that I know of. The card alone is just fine.
