Makati
Gianna, my mother, passed away on 17 July after complications from pneumonia. She was 48 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 $600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 28 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 Gianna 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 Makati hospice. Where the $600 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $330 • Memorial gathering for the family: $30 • Funeral home services and casket: $240 Every share and every dollar helps. - Lester

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

          Cemetery plot and burial fees is $330 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.
