Lydia, my sister, passed away on 12 July after a short illness. She was 69 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 $4,700 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 Lydia 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 local food bank.
Where the $4,700 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,400
• Transport of the deceased: $135
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,165
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Clara!
Cemetery plot and burial fees is $1,400 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.
Stay strong, Clara. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Comilla
Keep going, Clara. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Üsküdar so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Lucknow!
thinking of you and your family, Clara. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up
This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Naples.
Thinking of you, Clara. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
