Ai, my sister, passed away on 7 August after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 88 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 $2,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 16 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 Ai 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 $2,550 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $270 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,700 • Transport of the deceased: $580 Glad we found this place.

              Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Zhi.

                Memorial gathering for the family is $270 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.

                  good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
