I'm asking for help to pay for the water cremation of my boy, Xavier Menefee. His celebration of life and the attorney was well over $5k. The Summit County Medical Examiner originally told me there was no tissue on what bones were recovered. That was a lie. Because Xavier's skeletal remains were found in a burn pit and not all of him was recovered, I don't want to cremate him, and I don't want to bury him. Water cremation is not legal in Ohio at this time. It is legal in Illinois. The process takes about 3 days. I feel it's the only option that does not further desecrate my boy's bones. I am not currently working. Grief is hard, and working in a funeral home became unbearable. Thank you for your support and, if you're able, your donations so I can finally bring my firstborn home.
