Funeral costs for Christian's uncle, Axel
Christian lost his uncle suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $4,400.
🇺🇸 Illinois, United States973 views
Axel, my uncle, passed away on 30 August after complications from pneumonia. He was 92 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 $4,400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 11 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 Axel 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 $4,400 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,300
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,600
• Transport of the deceased: $340
• Memorial gathering for the family: $160

Hang in there, Christian. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Hope things get better soon, Christian. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless!
