Joko, my brother, passed away on 31 March after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 44 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 $850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 April.
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 Joko 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 $850 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $210
• Transport of the deceased: $95
• Funeral home services and casket: $545
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nur.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. cemetery plot and burial fees comes first ($210) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.
Thanks for sharing this, Nur. Shared it with a few friends
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Nur?
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in North Sumatra. I'll ask around and let you know.
Sending good thoughts, Nur. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together.
