Funeral costs for Gayathri's grandfather, Hari
Gayathri lost her grandfather suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $350.

Hari, my grandfather, passed away on 5 January after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 79 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 $350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 19 January.
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 Hari 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 $350 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $250
• Memorial gathering for the family: $50
• Transport of the deceased: $50
I hope life is good to you.

Thank you all. We're at 19% now ($65). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Gayathri?
Thank you. If you're in Madurai I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Amsterdam.
