Help Raúl lay Irene to rest with dignity in Tarragona
After the sudden passing of Irene, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇪🇸 Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain2,740 views
Irene, my wife, passed away on 24 September after a road accident. 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 $1,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 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 Irene 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 $1,600 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $290
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,050
• Memorial gathering for the family: $260
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
