Anthony, my uncle, passed away on 14 September after a short illness. He was 89 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 $5,750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 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 Anthony 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 $5,750 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,700
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,550
• Memorial gathering for the family: $500
Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Genesis
Good news. Because of your gifts ($713 in total) I made the first payment toward cemetery plot and burial fees. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $299 so far, I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts.
