Ricardo passed away on 9 September; we're raising $750 for a respectful funeral in Half-Way Tree.

Ricardo, my husband, passed away on 9 September after a road accident. 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 $750 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 23 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 Ricardo 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 $750 goes:
• Memorial gathering for the family: $120
• Transport of the deceased: $50
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $580
Thank you so much.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Monique.
Memorial gathering for the family is $120 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.
Sending strength, Monique. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Nizamabad this morning. Take care
Sending love, Monique. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Birmingham.
