Pankaj, my brother, passed away on 8 July after a sudden heart attack. He was 56 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 $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 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 Pankaj 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 $650 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $160
• Funeral home services and casket: $390
• Memorial gathering for the family: $100
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Good luck, Dinesh. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of New Delhi
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dinesh
It's all in the list in the story. cemetery plot and burial fees is the big one at $160, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Cambridge donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Cambridge
Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up!
Wishing you the best, Dinesh. Shared this with my family. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Mwanza.
