Södertälje
Lars, my husband, passed away on 14 March after a road accident. He was 26 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 $5,300 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 27 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 Lars 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 $5,300 goes: • Memorial gathering for the family: $330 • Funeral home services and casket: $3,400 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,570 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Lovisa

  2. 46% there. I made the first payment toward funeral home services and casket. Thank you.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 18% funded and I met with the funeral home and confirmed the amounts.
