Tema
Nana, my husband, passed away on 27 December after a sudden heart attack. He was 62 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 $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 11 January. 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 Nana 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 $650 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $450 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $85 • Transport of the deceased: $90 • Memorial gathering for the family: $25 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
