When is it appropriate to send money in a sympathy card?
husband believes you send money only if you knew the deceased well enough that you would have sent flowers to the funeral.
The person we are sending the sympathy card to just lost her sister ~ who was pregnant with twins.
The person and her husband are close friends.
My thinking is that funeral clothing and so on are expensive.
I am thinking like, $25. It isn't the money, it is the callousness of sending money in the face of the loss.
husband believes it should be only the sympathy card.
Thank you, everyone.
