Jack, my grandfather, passed away on 17 July after a sudden heart attack. He was 51 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 $3,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 July.
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 Jack 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 $3,700 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $900
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,600
• Memorial gathering for the family: $200
Thanks for being kind about this.

take care, Parker. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Bristol.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Sending strength, Parker. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Howrah this morning.
