Help Yamuna lay Siva to rest with dignity in Ludhiana
Yamuna lost her brother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $650.
🇮🇳 Ludhiana, Punjab, India490 views
Siva, my brother, passed away on 17 September after a short illness. He was 37 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 $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 3 October.
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 Siva 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 $650 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $350
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $200
• Transport of the deceased: $65
• Memorial gathering for the family: $35
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thank you all. We're at 17% now ($112). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts.

Praying for you, Yamuna. Shared this with my family. Don't give up. Love from Faisalabad
hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Entebbe so I could bring a meal. Blessings
Good luck, Yamuna. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless
Hope things get better soon, Yamuna. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Best of luck, Yamuna. This could happen to any of us. All the best
thinking of you, Yamuna. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Coventry
