Derek, my husband, passed away on 14 September after a stroke. He was 43 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 $3,350 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 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 Derek 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 $3,350 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $1,700 • Memorial gathering for the family: $185 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,465 Glad we found this place.
