My name is Linda and Lianna is a dear friend of mine. Lianna is a talented creative powerhouse, a musician, violinist and burlesque queen and also, a super kind and lovely person. As some of you may or may not know, Lianna lost her mum recently. On top of this already devastating situation there have been many other stresses in her life contributing to a lot financial pressure for her. The funeral cost at its fundamental value would cost £3989.00..... without flowers!

Along with some financial support of potentially £2000, she would still owe £1989.00, flowers: £100, order of service print: £50, room hire so she can speak to any of you attending.. etc.. I would want her to be able to send her mother off in a way that will help Lianna feel she has done right by her.

For this reason, I am looking to crowdfund on Lianna’s behalf and ask her friends & family if they can contribute towards the cost of the funeral.

Full funeral cost with flowers: £3989

DWP: possible contribution: £2000 (or less - it is taken out of her mums estate so Lianna gets nothing from that)

Lianna would owe: £1989 without anything else like flowers, order of service or a room hire for people to talk and see her afterwards.. those would cost:

£100 - flowers

£25 - room hire after

£50 - vistaprint extra

Lianna would owe Total: £2164.00 before even knowing how much is in her mums bank.
