Ga-eun, my sister, passed away on 18 July after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 24 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 $5,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 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 Ga-eun 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 $5,150 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,400 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,100 • Transport of the deceased: $300 • Memorial gathering for the family: $350 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Byung-hun!

    • It's all in the list in the story. funeral home services and casket is the big one at $3,400, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.

  • hope it all works out, Byung-hun. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day

    • Good luck, Byung-hun. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Pietermaritzburg.

      • Take care. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless
