Help Emily lay Charles to rest with dignity in Sacramento
After the sudden passing of Charles, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇺🇸 Sacramento, California, United States2,202 views
Charles, my brother, passed away on 22 July after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 82 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 $4,500 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 8 August.
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 Charles 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 the Sacramento hospice.
Where the $4,500 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $700
• Transport of the deceased: $390
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,410
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. After 21 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Phuket.
