Walter, my husband, passed away on 10 September after a stroke. He was 49 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 $6,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 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 Walter 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 $6,200 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $4,000 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,450 • Transport of the deceased: $520 • Memorial gathering for the family: $230 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Luke
