Aishwarya, my wife, passed away on 12 September after a short illness. She was 41 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 September. I have already used what I had for the hospital bills. My family is scattered, and many of us are out of work. We want Aishwarya to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to the Mumbai hospice. Where the $600 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $360 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $170 • Transport of the deceased: $30 • Memorial gathering for the family: $40 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Yamuna
