What is the ruling on cooking funeral food for money by mutual agreement with the family of the deceased?

For the family of the deceased to prepare food for those accompanying the funeral procession and offering condolences is not from the Sunnah. This act oscillates between being Haram (forbidden) and Makruh (disliked). The ruling on being hired to prepare this food does not fall below the level of being Makruh; therefore, it is advisable to avoid it.
