Help Bennett lay Aaliyah to rest with dignity in Southampton
After the sudden passing of Aaliyah, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇬🇧 Southampton, England, United Kingdom4,905 views
Aaliyah, my mother, passed away on 3 June after complications from pneumonia. She was 23 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 $3,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 11 June.
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 Aaliyah to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt.
Where the $3,300 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,850
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $620
• Transport of the deceased: $550
• Memorial gathering for the family: $280
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 22 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Southampton.
