Funeral costs for Ife's grandfather, Rotimi
Rotimi passed away on 16 June; we are raising $650 for a respectful funeral in Abuja.
🇳🇬 Abuja, Abuja FCT, Nigeria1,575 views
Rotimi, my grandfather, passed away on 16 June after a short illness. He was 61 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 $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 22 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 Rotimi 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 a neighborhood youth program.
Where the $650 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $390
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $145
• Transport of the deceased: $60
• Memorial gathering for the family: $55
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Wishing you peace, Ife. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ife.
It's all in the list in the story. funeral home services and casket is the big one at $390, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Ask me anything else.
best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Ife?
hang in there, Ife. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Suwon.
take care, Ife. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 16 people at work. Blessings
