Nolan, my husband, passed away on 23 August after a stroke. He was 70 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 $3,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 September. 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 Nolan 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 $3,250 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,600 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,100 • Transport of the deceased: $150 • Memorial gathering for the family: $400 Thank you so much.
