Lorenzo, my grandfather, passed away on 22 September after a stroke. He was 57 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 $3,650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 2 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 Lorenzo 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 Girona hospice. Where the $3,650 goes: โ€ข Funeral home services and casket: $2,350 โ€ข Cemetery plot and burial fees: $950 โ€ข Transport of the deceased: $185 โ€ข Memorial gathering for the family: $165 I hope life is good to you.
