English wording for "帛金"

[funeral ceremony money]。

condolence money

I do not think there is such English tradition of 帛金, financial assistance towards funeral costs. Relatives and friends generally send flowers and/or sympathy cards慰問咭 to the deseased family. Many people consider sending flowers should only restricted to the immediate and close relatives, and would suggest other friends to send cheque/money to a named charity organisation in the name of the deseased.用己去世人的名譽捐錢做福社會。

n.
1. (常複數)弔辭;弔唁;慰問

帛金是送給辦喪事的家庭的慰問禮, 西方也有此習俗, 但只簡單稱為 CONTRIBUTIONS / MEMORIAL CONTRIBUTIONS
例如在英文訃聞結尾處常有呼籲親友 "Instead of flowers, contributions may be made in his name to XXX Charity", 即叫人把送慰問禮改為捐助某慈善機構.

funeral ceremony money 不清楚. 究竟是喪禮用的費用, 還是賓客的現金贈禮?如果需要點出是賓客送給喪家的現金禮, 可以:Cash gift for the bereaved
