Lawrence, my uncle, passed away on 9 June after a sudden heart attack. He was 49 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 $4,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 18 June. 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 Lawrence 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 $4,300 goes: โ€ข Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,650 โ€ข Funeral home services and casket: $2,250 โ€ข Transport of the deceased: $400 Every share and every dollar helps.

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

    • Sure. The biggest one is cemetery plot and burial fees, $1,650. 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.

  • thinking of you and your family, Jameson. Hope this works out for you.

    • This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Syracuse

      • stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
