Andi, my brother, passed away on 13 September after complications from pneumonia. He was 76 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 $850 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 September. 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 Andi 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 $850 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $420 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $300 • Transport of the deceased: $45 • Memorial gathering for the family: $85 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Lukman

  • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lukman.

    • Lukman HutapeaOwnerAnswerID verified

      Funeral home services and casket is $420 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.

  • Wishing you the best, Lukman. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

      you're not alone, Lukman. This could happen to any of us

      • how is Lukman doing now?

        • Keep going, Lukman. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

          • Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Yogyakarta

              Thank you. If you're in Yogyakarta I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.

          • Sending love, Lukman. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

            • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted!

              • A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Yogyakarta. I'll ask around and let you know.

                • Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 38 people at work. God bless.

                  • So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.

                      stay strong, Lukman. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.

                          Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out

                          • rooting for you, Lukman. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
