Included in the thank you was some postage stamps. What type of custom is that...is it a particular ethnic group (the family is asian) and why? post:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.62224 Tue, 08 May 2007 19:37:19 -0800 skillet funeral customs stamps memorial http://ask.metafilter.com/62224/stamps-as-a-memorial-thank-you#936634 Does the postage add up to a large denomination?<br> <br> If not (as in, there's enough postage for a return letter), then I'd assume is so you can write them back thanking them for their thank you note at no additional cost to you. Just a guess.<br> <br> Are you a pastor or some other religious figure? Asian churches, especially in minority Christian areas, can be quite impecunious. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.62224-936634 Tue, 08 May 2007 19:56:23 -0800 porpoise
