Kimani, my uncle, passed away on 23 January after a stroke. He was 42 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 $800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 February. 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 Kimani 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 neighborhood youth program. Where the $800 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $85 • Funeral home services and casket: $620 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $95 Thank you for reading my story.

              is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Simiyu!

                Transport of the deceased is $85 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
