It isn't a set tradition for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) to give money at funerals, but some do. It depends on their personal preference and the desires of the deceased. Many Mormons these days choose to request a donation to a charity or foundation in lieu of flowers. Others ask for help with funeral expenses rather than flowers. It all depends on what the family wants.
As a Church, Church buildings and leaders are offered to hold and conduct the funeral at no charge, and each congregation has a women's organization that offers to provide a luncheon for the funeral attendees, also at no charge. All a Mormon family needs to pay for is the preparation of the body, casket, and burial.

Are non Mormons allowed at their funerals?
Yes! Funerals for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are open to all people. In fact, there have been non-Mormons at every single Mormon funeral I have ever attended. Nearly all Mormon worship services, including Sunday worship, Sunday School, baptisms, and funerals are open to anyone wishing to attend. The only services that are closed to the public are sacred ceremonies which are held in the Temple (seperate from regular church meetinghouses).
