Saying goodbye to Carlo - help with funeral expenses
Carlo passed away on 22 September; we're raising $900 for a respectful funeral in Manila.
🇵🇭 Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines1,248 views
Carlo, my uncle, passed away on 22 September after a long fight with kidney disease. He was 45 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 6 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 Carlo 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 local food bank.
Where the $900 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $650
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $140
• Transport of the deceased: $40
• Memorial gathering for the family: $70
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Herman.
Funeral home services and casket is $650 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.
