Brandon, my grandfather, passed away on 22 May after complications from pneumonia. He was 44 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 $1,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 June.
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 Brandon 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 $1,050 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $440
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $400
• Transport of the deceased: $85
• Memorial gathering for the family: $125
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Sipho
Small update. $183 so far, the plan for transport of the deceased is now scheduled.
Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($108). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($33 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
