Rowan, my husband, passed away on 13 July after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 74 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 $5,450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 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 Rowan 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 $5,450 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $490
• Funeral home services and casket: $4,300
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $660
If you're reading this, thank you.
