Funeral costs for Chloe's mother, Ella

Ella, my mother, passed away on 23 July after a short illness. She was 89 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 $5,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 30 July. 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 Ella 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 $5,550 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,350 • Transport of the deceased: $370 • Funeral home services and casket: $3,830 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
