Funeral costs for Onyango's grandfather, John
Onyango lost his grandfather suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $600.
🇹🇿 Tanzania2,726 views
John, my grandfather, passed away on 11 January after a sudden heart attack. He was 41 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 29 January.
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 John 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: $490
• Transport of the deceased: $55
• Memorial gathering for the family: $55
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Mwanza.
Thank you. If you're in Mwanza I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless

Good luck, Onyango. This could happen to any of us. I hope March is when things finally get easier
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Onyango.
Funeral home services and casket is $490 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
