Help Vikas lay Abhishek to rest with dignity in Bristol
Vikas lost his grandfather suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $3,150.
🇬🇧 Bristol, England, United Kingdom1,964 views
Abhishek, my grandfather, passed away on 27 October after complications from pneumonia. He was 63 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 $3,150 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 12 November.
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 Abhishek 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 $3,150 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,300
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,150
• Transport of the deceased: $330
• Memorial gathering for the family: $370

How is Vikas doing now?
Hang in there, Vikas. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vikas
Funeral home services and casket is $1,300 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
Hope it all works out, Vikas. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Lagos!
Keep going, Vikas. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Vikas. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings.
Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Vikas?
Thank you. If you're in Bristol I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
