Help Cover Cremation and Final Expenses for Our Dad

Story

Hi, my name is Amanda, and my brother Andrew and I are reaching out for help after the recent passing of our dad. He was the only parent who raised us, and even though our relationship had its ups and downs, we’re committed to making sure he’s taken care of with respect. He was cremated, and while we didn’t hold any formal services, we plan to gather with loved ones for a small memorial when the weather warms up. Right now, we’re trying to pay off the remaining balance owed to the funeral home for his cremation. Unfortunately, neither of us can afford the full cost on our own. On top of that, we’re facing probate court fees and the responsibility of settling his remaining debts — which adds to the pressure. Our goal is $7,000 — this covers the $6,340 funeral home balance, plus a small amount to help with probate filing fees and basic legal costs involved in settling our dad’s estate. If you’re able to donate, every dollar will go directly toward covering these final expenses. We’ll be fully transparent with how it’s used, any leftover funds will help with legal and estate-related costs. Whether you can contribute or simply share this page, your support means the world to us. Thank you for helping us honor our dad the best way we can. — Amanda & Andrew Remembrances can be found here: www.funkfuneralhome.com/tributes/Andrew-Taillon after.io/andrew-michael-taillon
