Tài, my father, passed away on 21 September after a road accident. He was 28 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 $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 6 October. 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 Tài 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 $650 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $380 • Memorial gathering for the family: $70 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $200 Thank you so much.

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Thu!

      • Thu Diệp TrieuOwnerAnswer

        Sure. The biggest one is funeral home services and casket, $380. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.
