Help Amelia lay Miles to rest with dignity in Bakersfield
Amelia lost her brother suddenly and the family cannot cover funeral and burial costs of $5,350.
🇺🇸 Bakersfield, California, United States2,260 views
Miles, my brother, passed away on 12 July after complications from pneumonia. He was 69 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 $5,350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 21 July.
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 Miles 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 Bakersfield hospice.
Where the $5,350 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,200
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,400
• Transport of the deceased: $590
• Memorial gathering for the family: $160
With deep gratitude,
Amelia

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Coventry this morning. Greetings from Coventry.
