Rhea, my mother, passed away on 18 August after a sudden heart attack. She was 77 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 $5,700 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 5 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 Rhea 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 $5,700 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $3,300
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,850
• Transport of the deceased: $330
• Memorial gathering for the family: $220
Glad we found this place.
