Family plea for Thomas Michael Stewarts funeral

Hi there, I’m raising money on behalf of my mother, and my family for my fathers funeral.

My dad aged 53 suddenly died on the 19th of September 2021, it is known he died of a blood clot on his heart. My dad fell to the ground and died in front of his sons (aged 5, 10 and 11) he leaves behind his wife, and 8 children who are aged between 4-24 and 3 grandchildren aged 1, 2 months old and 9 months old. Speaking to the funeral directors and they gave options to pay for the funeral, they declined a payment plan but advised to try the widows pension and funeral safe, my mother has been declined these options, and has just been knocked down in every angle possible things are hard enough for her and my younger siblings without this added stress if the payment is not paid the funeral directors after 21 days they will take my mother to court, they will charge late fees, professional costs etc. with 5 younger children at home, now single for the first time in 25 years, my mother has no ways in paying for her husbands funeral, this money needs to pay for the whole funeral, she begged and borrowed for a deposit, they require a 50% deposit but my mother could only scrape together £400. He isn’t embalmed because she cannot afford this extra. M

This is the last resort and my mother has set aside her pride for her husband, her children and grandchildren.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading this. The funeral takes place on the 7th of October 2021.
