Bella, my grandmother, passed away on 27 January after a sudden heart attack. 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 $5,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 16 February. 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 Bella 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 $5,550 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,550 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,500 • Transport of the deceased: $155 • Memorial gathering for the family: $345 Thanks for being kind about this.
