Jan, my husband, passed away on 14 May after complications from pneumonia. He was 57 years old. He was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $3,950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 May. 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 Jan 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 $3,950 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,000 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,150 • Transport of the deceased: $480 • Memorial gathering for the family: $320 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Birgit
