Saying goodbye to Marcel - help with funeral expenses
Sophie lost her brother suddenly and the family can't cover funeral and burial costs of $3,800.
🇳🇱 Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands2,852 views
Marcel, my brother, passed away on 16 June after a sudden heart attack. He was 87 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 $3,800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 24 June.
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 Marcel 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 local food bank.
Where the $3,800 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $155
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,950
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $695
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hang in there, Sophie. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Utrecht!
hope it all works out, Sophie. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Utrecht
Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Utrecht.
