Funeral Ceremony For Paul Miles

Unfortunately, my father Paul Miles passed away on Monday, June 21st after a long and painful battle with heart disease at the age of 57. He was a great man that was loved by so many family members and friends throughout his life.

He was a giving man with his money that spoiled his family and friends with happiness and good memories when life was good while I was growing up as a kid and unfortunately, his life and health took a turn for the worse over the years living off disability with his heart condition and ended up canceling his monthly life insurance payment plan that would have helped pay for his funeral arrangements and final medical bills.

My brother Michael and I will definitely be chipping in towards the majority of share in the costs to pay for the service in honor of our father who did so much for us, but the sudden financial burden is tough on us both as funeral services are unfortunately high as the average funeral in Virginia costs $7,500. My brother has a third child on the way any day now and will be on a paternity break from work, while I certainly don't have a nest egg of money myself and means to cover such a significant upfront cost.

We would greatly appreciate anyone that life was positively impacted by my father to chip any small amount in lieu of flowers and other tokens of gratitude to his life to help the family ensure that he has the proper burial service that he deserves.  Anything small even $5 helps on this sudden burden and would be greatly appreciated by the Miles family. 

More details on his funeral service forthcoming as the family finalizes details this week.
