Funeral costs for Rita's brother, Paolo
Rita lost her brother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $2,600.

Paolo, my brother, passed away on 1 December after a short illness. He was 90 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 $2,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 16 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 Paolo 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 $2,600 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $115
• Transport of the deceased: $270
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,215
Thanks for being kind about this.
- Rita

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Venice!
Thank you. If you're in Venice I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
This could happen to any of us. After 25 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Birmingham.
Your post was clear and honest. Love from San Nicolás de los Garza
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
