Owen, my grandfather, passed away on 6 April after complications from pneumonia. 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 $5,400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 April.
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 Owen 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 Orlando hospice.
Where the $5,400 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,400
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,900
• Transport of the deceased: $630
• Memorial gathering for the family: $470
Thanks for being kind about this.

Rooting for you, Ezra. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Orlando
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Chiang Mai but we're thinking of you.
