Funeral costs for Emmanuel's mother, Lovely
Emmanuel lost his mother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $700.
🇵🇭 Bacoor, Cavite, Philippines1,758 views
Lovely, my mother, passed away on 29 September after a short illness. She was 63 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 $700 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 Lovely 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 Bacoor hospice.
Where the $700 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $370
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $190
• Transport of the deceased: $55
• Memorial gathering for the family: $85
If you're reading this, thank you.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 9 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything
keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Emmanuel.
Funeral home services and casket is $370 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
Best of luck, Emmanuel. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Cairo.
