Janet, my grandmother, passed away on 19 September after a long fight with kidney disease. 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 $4,850 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 Janet 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 $4,850 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,650 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,350 • Transport of the deceased: $430 • Memorial gathering for the family: $420 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
