Claire, my grandmother, passed away on 12 September after a stroke. She was 91 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance.
The funeral home has given us a quote of $4,850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 21 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 Claire 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 $4,850 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,350
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $800
• Transport of the deceased: $360
• Memorial gathering for the family: $340
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hang in there, Nolan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
So sorry you're going through this, Nolan. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Bengaluru this morning.
