Waylon, my uncle, passed away on 12 April after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 88 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 $3,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 19 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 Waylon 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 $3,550 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,800
• Memorial gathering for the family: $430
• Transport of the deceased: $320
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

The list at the bottom is the whole picture. funeral home services and casket is the biggest at $2,800. Fair thing to want to know.

you're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
