Help Dayo lay Ifeoma to rest with dignity in Abuja
Ifeoma passed away on 18 September; we're raising $900 for a respectful funeral in Abuja.
🇳🇬 Abuja, Abuja FCT, Nigeria1,269 views
Ifeoma, my grandmother, passed away on 18 September after a short illness. She was 89 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 $900 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 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 Ifeoma 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 $900 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $640
• Transport of the deceased: $45
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $215
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dayo
Funeral home services and casket is $640 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Nice so I could bring a meal. Greetings from București.
How is Dayo doing now?
Thinking of you, Dayo. This could happen to any of us.
Hope things get better soon, Dayo. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Dayo?
Thank you. If you're in Abuja I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
