🇸🇦 Riyadh, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia1,887 views
Nada, my wife, passed away on 23 September after a sudden heart attack. She was 64 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 $2,850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 October.
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 Nada 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 $2,850 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,050
• Transport of the deceased: $380
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,420
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing you the best, Lina. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lina
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. cemetery plot and burial fees comes first ($1,050) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Stay strong, Lina. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Córdoba.
Sending good thoughts, Lina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Dar es Salaam but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Riyadh.
