Funeral costs for Durga's sister, Kamala
Kamala passed away on 14 June; we're raising $800 for a respectful funeral in Lalitpur.
🇳🇵 Bagmati, Nepal721 views
Kamala, my sister, passed away on 14 June after a stroke. She was 62 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 $800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 25 June.
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 Kamala 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 Lalitpur hospice.
Where the $800 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $430
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $210
• Transport of the deceased: $75
• Memorial gathering for the family: $85
Thanks for being kind about this.

Update from Lalitpur: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 30% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($239 in total) I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Durga
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. funeral home services and casket comes first ($430) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
