Bacolod
Mary Grace, my mother, passed away on 17 September after a stroke. She was 25 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 $850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 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 Mary Grace 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 $850 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $450 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $240 • Transport of the deceased: $85 • Memorial gathering for the family: $75 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

      Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Bacolod!

      • Naoki YamaguchiPhoto verified

        Thanks for sharing this, Rodel. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

        • Nalin Harsha BandaraQuestion

          is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rodel!

          • Rodel S. De LeonOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

            Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. funeral home services and casket comes first ($450) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.

        • Carmen E. Ávila

          Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning. Blessings!
