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

Marcos, my father, passed away on 5 February after a short illness. He was 25 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 $1,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 13 February.
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 Marcos 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 the Belo Horizonte hospice.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Transport of the deceased: $155
• Funeral home services and casket: $470
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $425
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 Kelly.
It's all in the list in the story. transport of the deceased is the big one at $155, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Hope things get better soon, Kelly. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Newcastle.
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Lagos.
