Janet, my sister, passed away on 17 November after a stroke. She was 92 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 $600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 December.
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 Janet 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 $600 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $75
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $230
• Funeral home services and casket: $295
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
