Help Parker lay Doris to rest with dignity in El Paso
After the sudden passing of Doris, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Doris, my wife, passed away on 16 January after a stroke. She was 48 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 $3,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 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 Doris 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 $3,550 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $450
• Memorial gathering for the family: $360
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,740
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Parker
Good news. Because of your gifts ($285 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from El Paso: I made the first payment toward memorial gathering for the family. We're at 8% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Quick update: $250 raised so far (7%). I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Parker.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. transport of the deceased comes first ($450) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Gazipur so I could bring a meal
