Suresh, my uncle, passed away on 11 September after complications from pneumonia. He was 81 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 $750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 September.
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 Suresh 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 $750 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $490
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $120
• Transport of the deceased: $60
• Memorial gathering for the family: $80
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thank you all. We're at 5% now ($40). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($15 in total) the plan for transport of the deceased is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Victoria this morning. Thinking of Salem
thinking of you, Malathi. Hope this works out for you. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too
You're not alone, Malathi. Shared this with my family. All the best
