Theo, my father, passed away on 15 October after a sudden heart attack. He was 87 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 28 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 Theo 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 $4,100 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,350
• Memorial gathering for the family: $190
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,560
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Paula?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about funeral home services and casket, advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
Wishing you peace, Paula. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 20 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Paula. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Paula.
Sure. The biggest one is funeral home services and casket, $2,350. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for looking so closely.
wishing you peace, Paula. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
