Saying goodbye to Inés - help with funeral expenses
After the sudden passing of Inés, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Inés, my sister, passed away on 8 March after a short illness. She was 29 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance.
The funeral home has given us a quote of $1,450 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 19 March.
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 Inés 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 $1,450 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $960
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $350
• Transport of the deceased: $50
• Memorial gathering for the family: $90
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mauricio
wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Monterrey.
Hope things get better soon, Mauricio. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Likoni so I could bring a meal.
Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. Thinking of Monterrey.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Monterrey
it takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Love from Howrah.
Take care, Mauricio. Your post was clear and honest
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Monterrey.
