Tushar, my father, passed away on 13 January after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 87 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 $700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 19 January.
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 Tushar 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 $700 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $55
• Funeral home services and casket: $430
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $215
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Tiruchirappalli.
Thank you. If you're in Tiruchirappalli I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
you're not alone, Meet. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
How is Meet doing now?
gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Meet
Memorial gathering for the family is $55 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
This could happen to any of us. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Tiruchirappalli.
