Lucas, my brother, passed away on 15 September after a road accident. He was 87 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 $3,800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 October. 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 Lucas 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 a neighborhood youth program. Where the $3,800 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $390 • Memorial gathering for the family: $270 • Funeral home services and casket: $3,140 If you're reading this, thank you. - Jack

          Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jack.

          • Jack L. TuckerOwnerAnswer

            Transport of the deceased is $390 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.

        • Nalin Viraj Ekanayake

          Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. After 21 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.

            Wishing you the best, Jack. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 20 people at work.

              you're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust

              • Vinod K. Sundaram

                Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
