Money gift at a funeral (condolence money for a funeral) = 5000 yen ($51.55 € 39.37)

My uncle died this year at age 100. I attended his funeral and gave condolence money to his bereaved family. I put 5000 yen ($51.55 € 39.37) into a specific envelope and I hand it over to the receptionist.

This is a special envelope.

The amount of money depends on how close you are to him. The following is the standard amount in Tokyo area.
