No. Writing your condolences on a card would be nice.

Yes there is, when a family can't afford the services for a funeral they will usually set up a charity and it will be mentioned in the obituary. If you haven't heard of one then there is no need to make a donation.

Donations are an alternative for people, especially those who don't like sending flowers, to show respect and/or honor the passing of someone.
It's never expected though.
Often donations would go to a charity or non-profit organization, often the donor's choice.

No it is not. That's a vulgar thing to do. If you want to financially help the bereaved, mail them the donation with a sympathy card.

It's a nice gesture but certainly not required.

No. I have never heard of such a thing. Where did you get that incorrect notion?

No, just give your sympathy to the family.
