Karina, my sister, passed away on 26 April after a stroke. She was 22 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 $3,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 11 May. 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 Karina 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 $3,700 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,200 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $840 • Transport of the deceased: $200 • Memorial gathering for the family: $460 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Renata

        take care, Renata. Hope this works out for you. After 29 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything

        • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Renata

          • Sure. The biggest one is funeral home services and casket, $2,200. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Fair thing to want to know.
