Sevgi, my grandmother, passed away on 19 September after a sudden heart attack. She was 81 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 $1,750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 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 Sevgi 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 $1,750 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $990
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $500
• Transport of the deceased: $160
• Memorial gathering for the family: $100
Glad we found this place.

How is Orhan doing now?
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Málaga.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Orhan.
Funeral home services and casket is $990 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
Hope you get there. Thinking of Konya.
Stay strong, Orhan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 7 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
