Rachel, my wife, passed away on 17 September after a stroke. She was 92 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 $1,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 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 Rachel 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 local food bank.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $115
• Funeral home services and casket: $580
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $455
Thanks for being kind about this.
