Funeral costs for Byaruhanga's father, Hamisi
Byaruhanga lost his father suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $550.
🇺🇬 Kampala, Central Region, Uganda2,052 views
Hamisi, my father, passed away on 11 March after a stroke. He was 85 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 $550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 March.
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 Hamisi 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 $550 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $250
• Funeral home services and casket: $250
• Transport of the deceased: $50
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you the best, Byaruhanga. Hope you get there.
Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 28 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Byaruhanga. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Kano so I could bring a meal.
Take care, Byaruhanga. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Kampala
How is Byaruhanga doing now?
So sorry you're going through this, Byaruhanga. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Fort Collins.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Byaruhanga?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about cemetery plot and burial fees, advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.
Thinking of you and your family, Byaruhanga. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Is cemetery plot and burial fees the biggest cost or is there more coming?
It's all in the list in the story. cemetery plot and burial fees is the big one at $250, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
