Lawrence, my husband, passed away on 11 August after a road accident. He was 89 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 $3,800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 1 September. 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 Lawrence 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 the Buffalo hospice. Where the $3,800 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,350 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $700 • Transport of the deceased: $420 • Memorial gathering for the family: $330 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Rowan
