CAN YOU HELP PLEASE FUND MY WIFE'S FUNERAL? I HAVE DAYS TO TRY AND GET THE MONEY TOGETHER OTHERWISE IT'S GOING TO BE A STRAIGHT CREMATION WHICH I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ATTEND. HERE IS THE BACKSTORY.

Dear friends, family, and kind strangers,

It is with a deeply heavy heart that I am sharing the passing of my dear mother, Jennifer Everett, at the age of 78.

The last chapter of my mother’s life was incredibly difficult. Recently, she and my father faced a devastating eviction. In the process, they lost not only their home but almost all of their lifelong possessions. This sudden upheaval was a massive shock to them both, leaving them with very little comfort in her final days.

Now, my father—who is nearly 80 years old—is left to face this profound grief alone. He only receives state pension, and his son is on benefits so is unable to pay Funeral costs meaning he has absolutely no savings or extra financial means to lay his wife to rest.

Because of our current financial situation, the local authorities are only able to offer us a "straight cremation" (a public health funeral). This means my mother would be cremated without a service, and worst of all, our family would not even be allowed to attend to say goodbye.

My mother was a deeply religious woman. Her faith was the guiding light of her life, and the thought of her passing without a proper, dignified prayer or service breaks our hearts. We desperately want to give her a respectful farewell that honours her faith, and we want my elderly father to have the chance to sit, pray, and say a proper goodbye to his wife of so many years.

We are raising funds to cover the costs of a basic, dignified funeral service, a proper cremation that the family can attend, and a modest memorial where we can celebrate her life.

Every single penny raised will go directly toward these funeral costs and helping my father navigate this heartbreaking transition. If you are able to donate, no matter how small the amount, it would mean the world to our family. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing our page or keeping my father in your prayers.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, support, and compassion during the darkest time of our lives.

With gratitude,

Michael Everett and Son
