[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 629037, member: 84"] jal she did set up a go fund me acct. I'll have easy child try goodwill and the churches. I don't know if she was a member of a church. Funeral home shopping around.......well, we're not in on that part of things but I would imagine they've done that. Problem is she is being buried in Cincy where things are more expensive and no I doubt there is a burial plot either. So yes, that is another expense. I can be really tough to find a funeral home that will take payments. We have one and trust me, he's the exception to the rule........which is why poor folks go there......and still it's not cheap, I'm guessing the 7k is probably about as cheap as they could make it without cremation. I only know this because had I had visitation for Fred with the actual burial service thing it would've cost me several thousand more even with cremation. We opted out of visitation, we did our own memorial / grave side service and transported the ashes ourselves. I also know my mom recently made all her arrangements, paid for them in advance and it was more than 7k. Of course that is another state. This is a woman who has already been through a lot, this diagnosis and the loss of her mother was all extremely fast. I'm sure the whole family has been blindsided. easy child sells 31 bags and set up an offer that gives a discount to those buying and proceeds also go to the funeral. She's had several orders that way......but 7k is quite a goal to reach in a short time. :( [/QUOTE]
