🇺🇸 United States1,749 views
Sharon, my mother, passed away on 23 July after a short illness. She was 73 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance.
The funeral home has given us a quote of $1,800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 31 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 Sharon 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 $1,800 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,050
• Memorial gathering for the family: $250
• Transport of the deceased: $500
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
