Funeral costs for Jackson's uncle, Gerald

Gerald, my uncle, passed away on 28 June after a road accident. He was 75 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 $4,750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 July. 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 Gerald 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 $4,750 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $640 • Funeral home services and casket: $3,500 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $610 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
