Help Helena lay Wiktor to rest with dignity in Newcastle upon Tyne
After the sudden passing of Wiktor, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Wiktor, my brother, passed away on 10 September after a sudden heart attack. He was 29 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 $4,400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 September.
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 Wiktor 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 $4,400 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,250
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,300
• Transport of the deceased: $410
• Memorial gathering for the family: $440
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope it all works out, Helena. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Helena.
Funeral home services and casket is $2,250 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.
