Seoul
Hye-won, my sister, passed away on 10 March after a short illness. She was 88 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 $1,950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 23 March. 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 Hye-won 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 Seoul hospice. Where the $1,950 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,500 • Transport of the deceased: $310 • Memorial gathering for the family: $140 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

              Sure. The biggest one is funeral home services and casket, $1,500. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Let me know if you want more detail.
