Saying goodbye to Alok - help with funeral expenses

After the sudden passing of Alok, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Alok, my uncle, passed away on 6 July after complications from pneumonia. He was 81 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 $900 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 18 July. 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 Alok 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 $900 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $210 • Funeral home services and casket: $630 • Transport of the deceased: $60 Glad we found this place. - Myra

          Hope it all works out, Myra. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Hyderabad.
