Robert, my brother, passed away on 15 December after complications from pneumonia. He was 82 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 $2,250 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 December. 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 Robert 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 the Wrocław hospice. Where the $2,250 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,500 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $320 • Transport of the deceased: $260 • Memorial gathering for the family: $170 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
