Karthik, my brother, passed away on 8 October after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 74 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 $400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 19 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 Karthik 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 $400 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $250 • Transport of the deceased: $55 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $95 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Priyanka

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

      Sure. The biggest one is funeral home services and casket, $250. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.
