I have an etiquette question, mainly cause I haven't had to deal much with death or funerals.

Recently a business associate lost her daughter. The child was young (was going to begin elementary school soon) and had a twin sibling.

We have all shown our support for this lady and her family. We all feel bad for her and want to help her in her time of grief.

However, there is something going on with her that I feel weird about and I am just wondering if I am just a bad person for questioning it or if it's customary for funerals or what.

After the child died, they set up a trust fund for her surviving twin for the twin's education. They asked that if anyone wanted to donate money that they put it in this trust fund.

I've heard of trust funds being done before. However, it makes more sense to me if a parent died and the child was without a means of support or something like that. In this case, both parents are alive, making huge salaries, and living in a nice house in an expensive suburb. I guess I could also see it if the child who died had a lingering illness and it drained them financially. However, it was very sudden/unexpected and that family is well covered by health insurance.

Anyway, I'd appreciate hearing your opinions on the topic. Thanks!
