Chinedu, my husband, passed away on 22 December after complications from pneumonia. He was 63 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 $800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 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 Chinedu 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 $800 goes: โ€ข Funeral home services and casket: $460 โ€ข Cemetery plot and burial fees: $185 โ€ข Transport of the deceased: $75 โ€ข Memorial gathering for the family: $80 Thank you for reading my story.

  • Is there any paperwork, like the funeral home quote, that backs this up?

    • Ifeoma FasholaOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

      I sent the funeral home quote in when I posted. I'll upload a redacted copy this week. Thanks, that means a lot.

  • Praying for you, Ifeoma. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Edmonton.
