Help Inès lay Arthur to rest with dignity in Lyon
Inès lost her uncle suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $2,700.
🇫🇷 Lyon, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France2,086 views
Arthur, my uncle, passed away on 15 July after a road accident. He was 38 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 $2,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 31 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 Arthur 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 $2,700 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $370
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,150
• Memorial gathering for the family: $180
Thanks for being kind about this.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Lyon.
Thank you. If you're in Lyon I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Thanks for sharing this, Inès. Shared it with a few friends. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Inès.
Wishing you the best, Inès. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Good luck, Inès. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Inès. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Liverpool but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Liverpool.
Best of luck, Inès. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
Good luck, Inès. Hope this works out for you.
Take care, Inès. Shared this with my family. Don't give up. Take care.
