Funeral costs for Vivaan's husband, Deepak
Vivaan lost his husband suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $700.
🇮🇳 Pune, Maharashtra, India940 views
Deepak, my husband, passed away on 27 July after a road accident. He was 91 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 13 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 Deepak 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 $700 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $450
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $110
• Transport of the deceased: $80
• Memorial gathering for the family: $60
Thank you so much.

Thank you all. We're at 34% now ($235). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward transport of the deceased.

Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
is there anything that isn't money that would help Vivaan?
Thank you. If you're in Pune I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Wishing you peace, Vivaan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless!
Hope it all works out, Vivaan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
Take care. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Thrissur.
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vivaan.
Funeral home services and casket is $450 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
hope you get there. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Maharashtra. I'll ask around and let you know
Wishing you peace, Vivaan. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
