Apurva, my mother, passed away on 16 September after a sudden heart attack. She was 56 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 $950 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 September. 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 Apurva 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 the Kochi hospice. Where the $950 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $700 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $210 • Transport of the deceased: $30 • Memorial gathering for the family: $10 Thanks for reading all this.
