Oh my word, I got caught up in a zombie thread! I would not have noticed if you hadn't called it out.Go fund me didn't even exist when this thread was started!
For my parents funerals, I sent thank you notes for those who sent flowers, mass cards (not Catholic but still got a couple), sent food to the house or gave a donation. Didn't send for just sympathy cards or attending the viewing/service. I used the cards provided by the funeral home and wrote a sentence or two.
