Alexander, my uncle, passed away on 10 March after a road accident. He was 32 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 $4,350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 March.
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 Alexander 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 $4,350 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,450
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,350
• Transport of the deceased: $280
• Memorial gathering for the family: $270
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ruth.
Funeral home services and casket is $2,450 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Rockford.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ruth?
Thank you. If you're in Tampa I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
Sending love. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
you're not alone, Ruth. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Durgapur
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
you're not alone, Ruth. Hope this works out for you
Thanks for sharing this, Ruth. Hope you get there. God bless.
Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Epe so I could bring a meal. Take care
