Help Marites lay Kevin to rest with dignity in Pasig

After the sudden passing of Kevin, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Pasig
Kevin, my husband, passed away on 8 November after a short illness. He was 80 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 $1,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 November. 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 Kevin 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 $1,100 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $740 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $260 • Transport of the deceased: $80 • Memorial gathering for the family: $20 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Updates from Marites

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($333 in total) I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

      Take care. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Pasig.

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

          • Marites D. HernandezOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

            Funeral home services and casket is $740 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.

              is there anything that isn't money that would help Marites?

              • Marites D. HernandezOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

                Thank you. If you're in Pasig I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.

                  Wishing you the best, Marites. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Pasig.

                  • Arthur Adam Roux

                    Best of luck, Marites. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

                      Take care, Marites. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.

                        Wishing you peace, Marites. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Galway so I could bring a meal.
