[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 629318"] Money in a sympathy card is pretty typical in the Midwest but my family is from NY so it was surprise to us. My understanding is that it is meant to defray the funeral costs if necessary or to help the family however needed. If the family does not "need" the money - they usually donate it. When we received money in some of the sympathy cards for my Dad, we thanked the person who sent it and let them know we had donated it to "XXXXXXX" in their name. [/QUOTE]
