Irapuato
Emiliano, my brother, passed away on 7 November after a stroke. He was 40 years old. He was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $1,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 22 November. 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 Emiliano to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt. Where the $1,150 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $530 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $430 • Transport of the deceased: $70 • Memorial gathering for the family: $120 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
