Funeral costs for Rakesh's brother, Ashok

Ashok, my brother, passed away on 5 September after a stroke. 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 $550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 13 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 Ashok 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 $550 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $50 • Funeral home services and casket: $430 • Memorial gathering for the family: $70 If you're reading this, thank you. - Rakesh
