Saying goodbye to Volodymyr - help with funeral expenses

After the sudden passing of Volodymyr, the family is asking for help with the funeral home and burial costs.

Volodymyr, my brother, passed away on 12 July after a short illness. He was 38 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 $2,650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 25 July. 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 Volodymyr 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 $2,650 goes: • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,050 • Transport of the deceased: $410 • Funeral home services and casket: $1,190 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

      Sending strength, Timur. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings

      • Yogesh A. SrinivasanQuestion

        Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Timur

        • Timur Leonid SokolovOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

          Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. cemetery plot and burial fees comes first ($1,050) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
