Declan, my uncle, passed away on 13 November after a stroke. He was 88 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 $3,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 November.
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 Declan 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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $3,150 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,250
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,050
• Transport of the deceased: $480
• Memorial gathering for the family: $370
I hope life is good to you.
