Funeral costs for Amit's mother, Nisha
Amit lost his mother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $6,550.
🇺🇸 Albany, New York, United States6,476 views
Nisha, my mother, passed away on 31 July after a stroke. She was 75 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 $6,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 15 August.
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 Nisha 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 Albany hospice.
Where the $6,550 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,750
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,750
• Transport of the deceased: $650
• Memorial gathering for the family: $400
Every share and every dollar helps.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Amit
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. funeral home services and casket is the biggest at $3,750. It helps to be asked.
keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Amit?
Thank you. If you're in Albany I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
wishing you peace, Amit. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
Hope you get there. Love from Pretoria.
Sending love, Amit. Hope you get there
Best of luck, Amit. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Albany.
