Giving tzedaka (giving to charity) is traditional at funerals. Synagogues typically have a pushke (a tzedaka box) where you can put coins, cash or checks. The funeral is not usually interrupted to pass the plate, though. Instead, the pushke is frequently somewhere between the front door and the back of the sanctuary. Sometimes, there will be a special pushke for a charity designated by the family or the deceased. In that case, it will be pointed out.
