Funeral costs for Yan's grandfather, Yu
Yan lost his grandfather suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $4,700.
🇺🇸 Buffalo, New York, United States4,817 views
Yu, my grandfather, passed away on 21 September after a short illness. He was 80 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 $4,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 7 October.
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 Yu 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 Buffalo hospice.
Where the $4,700 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,500
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,200
• Transport of the deceased: $600
• Memorial gathering for the family: $400

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Mexicali
Stay strong, Yan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Buffalo.
you're not alone, Yan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Chennai.
rooting for you, Yan. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Wishing you peace, Yan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
