Emery, my wife, passed away on 20 July after a stroke. She was 73 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 $2,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 July.
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 Emery 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 $2,250 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $360
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,550
• Transport of the deceased: $340
Thanks for being kind about this.
