Funeral costs for Mercedes's brother, Ignacio
Mercedes lost her brother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $1,450.

Ignacio, my brother, passed away on 24 August after a short illness. He was 39 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 $1,450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 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 Ignacio 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 $1,450 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $680
• Transport of the deceased: $290
• Memorial gathering for the family: $480
Thanks for reading all this.

Stay strong. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Good luck, Mercedes. This could happen to any of us. After 8 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Leeds so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Shared this with my family. Greetings from Gangnam.
