Traditional Japanese Condolence Gift Envelope – This elegant envelope is traditionally used in Japan to offer monetary gifts as an expression of sympathy at funerals.
The term 御霊前 literally means "before the spirit," symbolizing an offering made in honor of the deceased's spirit.
Used for Condolences, Not Celebrations – Unlike decorative envelopes for weddings and celebrations, this envelope is specifically designed for expressing condolences at funerals. Please use it respectfully.
How to Write the Inner Envelope – Write the amount on the front and your address and name on the back. Whenever possible, avoid using new banknotes.
How to Present the Envelope – Typically, money is inserted inside the inner envelope before being placed within the outer decorative envelope. It is then handed to the grieving family during the funeral service.
Appropriate Amounts to Include – The amount varies depending on the relationship with the deceased, but common ranges are: Casual acquaintance or colleague: $30~$50, Close friend or distant relative: $50~$100, Immediate family or significant relationship: $100~$300
