Zlata, my sister, passed away on 15 August after a short illness. She was 55 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 $1,000 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 22 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 Zlata 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 local food bank. Where the $1,000 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $740 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $150 • Transport of the deceased: $40 • Memorial gathering for the family: $70 Every share and every dollar helps.

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bogdana

      • Bogdana Maryna ZhukovOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. funeral home services and casket comes first ($740) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.

    • best of luck, Bogdana. Hope you get there. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.

      • How is Bogdana doing now?

        • Hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Lahore.

          • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Leeds so I could bring a meal.

            • Keep going, Bogdana. This could happen to any of us.

              • It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Kitakyushu.

                • wishing you peace, Bogdana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care!

                  • Thinking of you, Bogdana. Shared this with my family. Blessings.
