Springfield
Rachel, my sister, passed away on 17 September after a short illness. She was 34 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 $2,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 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 Rachel 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 $2,050 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,400 • Memorial gathering for the family: $250 • Transport of the deceased: $400 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Springfield.

    • Barbara Serena FerraroQuestion

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ezra

      • Ezra DeanOwnerAnswerID verifiedPhoto verified

        Sure. The biggest one is cemetery plot and burial fees, $1,400. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for looking so closely.

      Sending good thoughts, Ezra. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Lahore.

      • Mega Fitri Saputra

        Keep going, Ezra. Hope you get there. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.

          Sending strength, Ezra. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

              • Willem J. Sithole

                Best of luck, Ezra. Your post was clear and honest. After 21 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
