Support for a Heartfelt Farewell

Donation protected
Greetings family and friends!

I hope 2025 is treating you well. Last week I received notice from Kern County Coroner's office that my dad was found unresponsive by his girlfriend in their home. While this is such a shock to loose my father at such a young age, I would like to provide him with the last opportunity to be surrounded by those who can make it to see him one last time.

While I have debt (mostly student loans) remaining, I am unable to pay (on my own) this lowest quote I’ve found for a viewing service (inclusive of embalming, casket, and cremation).

I would appreciate any and all assistance towards the $3000 funeral cost + $1000 travel expenses.

Service: 1-4p on Tuesday, August 26

Thank you for helping to celebrate my kind dad’s life.
