Funeral costs for Tharun's sister, Sowmya
Tharun lost his sister suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $400.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India1,126 views
Sowmya, my sister, passed away on 6 August after a stroke. She was 80 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance.
The funeral home has given us a quote of $400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 August.
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 Sowmya 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 Mumbai hospice.
Where the $400 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $55
• Funeral home services and casket: $260
• Transport of the deceased: $85
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
