Pradeep, my brother, passed away on 22 July after complications from pneumonia. He was 69 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 $600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 July. 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 Pradeep 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 $600 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $290 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $190 • Transport of the deceased: $80 • Memorial gathering for the family: $40 Glad we found this place.
