Halifax
Victoria, my grandmother, passed away on 25 March after complications from pneumonia. She was 41 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 $3,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 April. 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 Victoria 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 $3,200 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,350 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,050 • Transport of the deceased: $560 • Memorial gathering for the family: $240 Thanks for reading all this.
