Saying goodbye to Lilian - help with funeral expenses
Omolara lost her sister suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $400.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,237 views
Lilian, my sister, passed away on 4 September after complications from pneumonia. She was 44 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 $400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 12 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 Lilian 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 a neighborhood youth program.
Where the $400 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $80
• Memorial gathering for the family: $40
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $280
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Omolara
Transport of the deceased is $80 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
