Jacques, my father, passed away on 29 June after complications from pneumonia. He was 69 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 $1,450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 15 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 Jacques 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 $1,450 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $870
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $440
• Transport of the deceased: $60
• Memorial gathering for the family: $80
Thank you so much.
