Janet, my grandmother, passed away on 5 April after a sudden heart attack. She was 55 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 $2,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 10 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 Janet 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 $2,250 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,750
• Transport of the deceased: $210
• Memorial gathering for the family: $290
Every share and every dollar helps.

Wishing you the best, Alyssa. Hope you get there. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Alyssa. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Moscow.
Sending love, Alyssa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
shared this with my family. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Scranton.
