Funeral costs for Marcel's grandmother, Leni
Marcel lost his grandmother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $3,200.
🇩🇪 Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany2,465 views
Leni, my grandmother, passed away on 30 August after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 25 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 $3,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 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 Leni 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 Düsseldorf hospice.
Where the $3,200 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $270
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $860
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,070
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
