Help Lotte lay Maud to rest with dignity in Haarlem
After the sudden passing of Maud, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇳🇱 Netherlands2,145 views
Maud, my mother, passed away on 4 April after a short illness. She was 85 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 $4,350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 13 April.
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 Maud 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 $4,350 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,700
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,100
• Transport of the deceased: $310
• Memorial gathering for the family: $240
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lotte.
Funeral home services and casket is $2,700 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
Take care, Lotte. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 10 people at work.
