Arlington
Dylan, my husband, passed away on 7 August after a sudden heart attack. He was 79 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 $5,250 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 Dylan 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 Arlington hospice. Where the $5,250 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $380 • Funeral home services and casket: $3,650 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,220 Thank you so much. - Roman
