Melanie, my sister, passed away on 4 December after a road accident. She was 63 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 $4,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 21 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 Melanie 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 $4,200 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,900 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,650 • Transport of the deceased: $380 • Memorial gathering for the family: $270 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Rebecca
