Delphine, my grandmother, passed away on 26 August after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 87 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 10 September. 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 Delphine 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 the Rennes hospice. Where the $3,050 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,750 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $790 • Transport of the deceased: $400 • Memorial gathering for the family: $110 Thanks for being kind about this.
