Vincenzo, my husband, passed away on 7 August after a stroke. He was 39 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 $3,550 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 20 August. 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 Vincenzo 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 $3,550 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,200 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $710 • Transport of the deceased: $350 • Memorial gathering for the family: $290 If you're reading this, thank you.

    sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Stellenbosch!

      Keep going, Federico. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust

      • Leila Zainab Al-Farsi

        wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Fez so I could bring a meal.

          is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Federico.

          • Federico Giuseppe VitaliOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

            Sure. The biggest one is funeral home services and casket, $2,200. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.

          Sending strength, Federico. Hope this works out for you. Love from Jakarta

          • Dineo A. Cloete

            Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Rawalpindi but we're thinking of you.

            • Waylon E. Vasquez

              Sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. Thinking of Milan.
