Funeral costs for Diana's uncle, Denis

Denis, my uncle, passed away on 22 September after a long fight with kidney disease. 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 $1,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 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 Denis 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 the Saint Petersburg hospice. Where the $1,550 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $680 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $550 • Transport of the deceased: $155 • Memorial gathering for the family: $165 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Diana
