Funeral costs for Nora's wife, Zoe

Zoe, my wife, passed away on 2 November after a short illness. She was 48 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 $5,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 13 November. 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 Zoe 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 local food bank. Where the $5,250 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,550 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $2,000 • Transport of the deceased: $320 • Memorial gathering for the family: $380 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Nora
