Charles, my brother, passed away on 30 August after a sudden heart attack. He was 89 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 $3,600 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 Charles 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 $3,600 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,050
• Memorial gathering for the family: $370
• Transport of the deceased: $180
Thanks for being kind about this.
