Funeral costs for Nora's husband, Hudson

Nora lost her husband suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $4,950.

Hudson, my husband, passed away on 9 August after a sudden heart attack. He was 66 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 $4,950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 18 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 Hudson 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 a neighborhood youth program. Where the $4,950 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $195 • Funeral home services and casket: $3,500 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,255 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
