Johan, my grandfather, passed away on 19 October after a stroke. He was 86 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 $3,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 October.
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 Johan 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 neighborhood youth program.
Where the $3,550 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,850
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,400
• Transport of the deceased: $130
• Memorial gathering for the family: $170
Thanks for being kind about this.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
is there anything that isn't money that would help Luuk?
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Iztapalapa
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Luuk.
Sure. The biggest one is funeral home services and casket, $1,850. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Québec.
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
