Here's an odd one (to me at least).

P's are going to a funeral tm and everyone has to chip in a $fiddy.

Extremely wealthy family. I've never heard of that before. Is that a thing now?

I understand they're expensive but just never seen that before.

Extremely wealthy and they’re insisting people chip in for a funeral? That’s extremely tacky.

I’ve heard of people asking for donations to a charity rather than flowers, but never for the cost of the funeral.

E: it would be tacky even if they weren’t wealthy
