Joseph, my father, passed away on 10 August after complications from pneumonia. He was 85 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 $4,800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 29 August. 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 Joseph 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 Bristol hospice. Where the $4,800 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $3,100 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,250 • Transport of the deceased: $310 • Memorial gathering for the family: $140 I hope life is good to you. - Shawn
