Varun, my uncle, passed away on 17 January after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 73 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 $4,950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 February. 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 Varun 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 $4,950 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $200 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,250 • Funeral home services and casket: $3,500 With deep gratitude, Diya

  • So sorry you're going through this, Diya. Hope this works out for you. Take care.

    • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Diya!

      • Diya F. DhawanOwnerAnswer

        Transport of the deceased is $200 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.

    • sending strength, Diya. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.

      • Wishing you peace, Diya. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did!

        • Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Düsseldorf!

          • Rooting for you, Diya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.

            • Thinking of you, Diya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Corpus Christi donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Geelong.
