Nolan, my husband, passed away on 6 April after complications from pneumonia. 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 $6,000 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 Nolan 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 $6,000 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $4,050 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,500 • Transport of the deceased: $450 If you're reading this, thank you. - Riley
