Funeral costs for Marijke's mother, Mila
After the sudden passing of Mila, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇳🇱 Netherlands1,968 views
Mila, my mother, passed away on 5 August after a sudden heart attack. She was 88 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 $1,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 12 August.
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 Mila 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 $1,150 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $570
• Memorial gathering for the family: $310
• Transport of the deceased: $270
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

How is Marijke doing now?
Keep going, Marijke. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Breda.
sending good thoughts, Marijke. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. After 25 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Marijke?
Thank you. If you're in Breda I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Blessings
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Kozhikode this morning. Thinking of Breda!
I hope things turn around soon. After 6 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything
