Farewell fund for Sinead: help Eileen's family in Galway
After the sudden passing of Sinead, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇮🇪 Galway, Connacht, Ireland1,087 views
Sinead, my wife, passed away on 28 September after a short illness. She was 64 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 $3,450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 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 Sinead 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 $3,450 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,550
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $530
• Transport of the deceased: $370
Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Eileen
Thank you all. We're at 3% now ($110). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for cemetery plot and burial fees is now scheduled.
Update from Galway: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 8% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 23% funded and I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts.

Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Islamabad
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Eileen
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from London.
Thinking of you. Hope you get there. Please keep us posted. God bless
