Funeral costs for Satoshi's father, Hiroto
After the sudden passing of Hiroto, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇯🇵 Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan2,626 views
Hiroto, my father, passed away on 17 July after a short illness. He was 83 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 $2,200 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 25 July.
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 Hiroto 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 the Tokyo hospice.
Where the $2,200 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,300
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $600
• Transport of the deceased: $210
• Memorial gathering for the family: $90
Thanks for reading all this.
