Lauren, my wife, passed away on 24 August after a road accident. She was 73 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 $4,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 31 August.
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 Lauren 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 $4,550 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,850
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,150
• Transport of the deceased: $360
• Memorial gathering for the family: $190
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
