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.

what exactly is the $6,200 for?
Funeral home services and casket is $4,000 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Aurangabad.
You're not alone, Luke. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings.
Sending strength. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of San Diego.
Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Hanoi
