Anywhere in the world2,108 views
Tarun, my husband, passed away on 6 March after a short illness. He was 78 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 $4,100 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 19 March.
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 Tarun 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 $4,100 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,750
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,800
• Transport of the deceased: $145
• Memorial gathering for the family: $405
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
