Saying goodbye to Cameron - help with funeral expenses
After the sudden passing of Cameron, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.
🇨🇦 Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada1,405 views
Cameron, my grandfather, passed away on 7 August after complications from pneumonia. He was 86 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 $1,900 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 21 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 Cameron 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 the Burnaby hospice.
Where the $1,900 goes:
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,100
• Memorial gathering for the family: $530
• Transport of the deceased: $270
Thanks for being kind about this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Keith!
It's all in the list in the story. cemetery plot and burial fees is the big one at $1,100, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Ask me anything else.
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Sheffield.

Best of luck, Keith. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.

Stay strong, Keith. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 6 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Badagry.
