Edilene, my wife, passed away on 12 May after a short illness. She was 89 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 $1,750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 23 May.
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 Edilene 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 $1,750 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $460
• Transport of the deceased: $125
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,165

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Joaquim
Cemetery plot and burial fees is $460 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
Sending strength, Joaquim. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
you're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Santos.
Praying for you, Joaquim. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Dwarka but we're thinking of you.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Joaquim?
Thank you. If you're in Caxias do Sul I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.

Hope it all works out, Joaquim. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
