Funeral costs for Yeshi's grandmother, Sara
Yeshi lost her grandmother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $650.
🇪🇹 Addis Ababa, Ethiopia647 views
Sara, my grandmother, passed away on 16 March after a road accident. She was 83 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 $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 April.
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 Sara 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 $650 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $410
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $130
• Transport of the deceased: $45
• Memorial gathering for the family: $65
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending strength, Yeshi. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yeshi.
Sure. The biggest one is funeral home services and casket, $410. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.
good luck, Yeshi. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
best of luck, Yeshi. This could happen to any of us. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from San Francisco.
Hope it all works out, Yeshi. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Cartagena this morning.
