Help me honor my father’s burial wishes

Donation protected
Hey guys, Its with a heavy heart that I’m announcing to the world that my father Roger Alan Bostwick has passed away and I need your help. this is urgent as my father passed on January 3rd unexpectedly of a heart attack. Our family, unfortunately, was not notified of his passing until January 25th.

My father was disabled towards the end of his life so he didn’t have any savings to leave me to help put him to rest. He was a Catholic man who always made it very clear he did not want to be cremated. Its my duty as his next of kin to respect his requests. His burial wish was to meet God in his Levi 501s, with no shoes on, and a t-shirt.

I’m currently living in South Carolina and unfortunately, I can only afford to get myself to New York and nothing else. This is the estimated price for a burial on Long Island. I’m absolutely just trying to do the bare minimum- get a plaque, a casket, and a final resting place for my daddy. Anything at all helps and if you can’t donate, I simply ask that you please share.
my cash app is $ppaaiiggee2 if you can’t meet the $5 minimum here. every cent helps. 

Update: Upon further research I have found some affordable options to bury my father. I have changed my goal to $10,000. My initial goal was a very rough estimate off google- so I’m happy that this burden is a bit lifted and this feels way more doable. 
Thank you everyone. Words cannot express my gratitude for those who are showing up for me and my father right now.
