Funeral costs for Josephine's wife, Eleanor
Josephine lost her wife suddenly and the family cannot cover funeral and burial costs of $3,050.
🇳🇿 New Zealand3,048 views
Eleanor, my wife, passed away on 8 March after a stroke. She was 34 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 $3,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 March.
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 Eleanor 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 local food bank.
Where the $3,050 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $350
• Transport of the deceased: $350
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,350
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Calamba.
Hang in there, Josephine. Your post was clear and honest.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Auckland.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Josephine
Memorial gathering for the family is $350 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.
Hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Shinjuku!
Take care, Josephine. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Stay strong, Josephine. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Mapo
Take care. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Oaxaca de Juárez but we're thinking of you.
Praying for you, Josephine. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Josephine. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Sending strength, Josephine. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care
