Julia, my grandmother, passed away on 15 September after complications from pneumonia. She was 78 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 $3,800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 26 September. 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 Julia 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 $3,800 goes: โ€ข Memorial gathering for the family: $270 โ€ข Funeral home services and casket: $3,250 โ€ข Transport of the deceased: $280 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
