Help Dylan lay Elias to rest with dignity in Manchester
Dylan lost his grandfather suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $3,600.
🇬🇧 Manchester, England, United Kingdom4,574 views
Elias, my grandfather, passed away on 13 July after a road accident. He was 39 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 $3,600 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 Elias 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 local food bank.
Where the $3,600 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,350
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $590
• Transport of the deceased: $290
• Memorial gathering for the family: $370
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending love. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together.
Keep going, Dylan. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Rooting for you, Dylan. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Hyderabad.
Hope it all works out, Dylan. Hope you get there.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dylan
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. funeral home services and casket is the biggest at $2,350. Thanks for asking.
Praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
