African Americans(or non-African Americans), funerals and thank you cards (house, family)

[rlrl]

without sounding stupid or ignorant, when do families(either African American or non-white families if there is a difference) send out thank you cards to those who attended their loved one's service? is it a few weeks after the passing or can it be as much as 9 months after?

please answer my question, please don't read anything into my question. i'm not insinuating anything, i'm trying to find out something and it's kind of difficult for me to word it here

thanks

should i do anything further? the link doesn't say what to do in response to already receiving a thank you card

thanks for responding

Its never a stupid question if you don't know the answer. Just wanting to seek and know the correct information is the opposite of ignorance.

Why would there be a difference w/regard to color as to when u send out thank you cards???

I take it you sent something and was sent a thank you card for your gesture or thoughts. It's complete you don't need to do anything else.

I’ve been to a number of funerals and never received a “thank you” for attending the services. If however there was a request of any donations or contributions to a special association to honor of the deceased, then yes I would get a “thank you”. It was never based on any ethnic funerals; a soul that has passed has no color or nationality.

I didn't know you sent thank you cards to those that attended your loved one's funeral.

Uh...who told you african-americans do that? Cause I never heard of that. What we do is drive or fly to whatever city the funeral is being held in, everyone stays at one family member's house, we show up to the funeral, we have dinner and a celebration and a type of family reunion, stay over the next few days with family, and then leave. No thank you cards necessary. We did all that when we showed up and hugged and kissed.
