As I have shared with most of you, my father passed Saturday, June 23, 2018. We have been in a battle with Stage IV Lung Cancer mainly and so much more the last 4 years. He was quite the trooper through it all, but like many, the suffering and fighting became his ultimate demise. 

In this unfortuante event, my father was disabled the last 4 years and unable to work, maintain insurance and let alone any kind of life or burial insurance do to his diagnosis and poor prognosis. Tough place to be. I solely, have committed myself to fundraising the efforts to give him a proper burial, alongside with some of my personal funds. Not an easy task for me, but I’ll  take every avenue necessary to make this happen for him. 

Below is the most reasonable quote I have found for him: 


Same day view and visitation at church and chapel
professional service fee 1295.00

Embalming 425.00

Dress and Casket 75.00

Funeral service 295.00

Transfer to funeral home 295.00

Hearse 275.00

Flower van 100.00

20 guage metal non sealer casket 1095.00

Concrete vault 895.00

Open and close grave 995.00

Holy cross adult grave space estimated 1000.00

GOOD  FAITH  total: $6745.00 

Trahan Family Funeral Home has given me the best quote and I’ve been assured that he would have a beautiful home-going here. 

I thank you all for your kind words and prayers and any help offered will be a blessing to me and my family.
