Swapna, my wife, passed away on 29 August after a stroke. She was 68 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 $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 15 September. 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 Swapna 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 a neighborhood youth program. Where the $650 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $85 • Funeral home services and casket: $430 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $135 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Aniket
