Advice from Judith Martin, Nicholas Ivor Martin and Jacobina Martin.
: Three times in the past year, friends have sent me links to crowdfunding sites where family members were soliciting funds to bury a relative. I am uncomfortable adding myself to the list of donor names followed by a dollar amount .
This person went a little far, in my opinion, but my main struggle is with the optics of such a list. It appears that people are expressing condolences with money. Most crowdfunding sites have an option to donate anonymously, and I usually do so, because my name is still visible to the organizer.: There are those who legitimately need help to finance a memorial service. If a family deems such extras necessary, they can pay for them themselves.
Except one. She is the kind of person who always has SOMETHING wrong: her finger , her hand , her hip , etc.
