Funeral costs for Danielle's grandmother, Mia
Danielle lost her grandmother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $5,450.
🇺🇸 New York, United StatesPosted Oct 1, 20265,997 views
Mia, my grandmother, passed away on 19 September after a road accident. She was 53 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 $5,450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 October.
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 Mia 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 $5,450 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,800
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,450
• Memorial gathering for the family: $200
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

So sorry you're going through this, Danielle. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Gliwice
Hope you get there. Please keep us posted
Thinking of you, Danielle. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
You're not alone, Danielle. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Syracuse.
