Josiah, my uncle, passed away on 21 June after complications from pneumonia. He was 73 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 $6,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 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 Josiah 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 $6,300 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $4,350
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,550
• Transport of the deceased: $210
• Memorial gathering for the family: $190
With deep gratitude,
Harper
