Romain, my grandfather, passed away on 23 May after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 46 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 $3,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 June.
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 Romain 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 the Boulogne-Billancourt hospice.
Where the $3,700 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,650
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $650
• Transport of the deceased: $230
• Memorial gathering for the family: $170
Thanks for being kind about this.
