Need help for Dale Isbill's funeral
Donation protected
Our father, Dale, left this world a few days ago.
Local attempts to have him buried have failed due to the cemetery and funeral home demanding more money than we could possibly pay, insisting it be paid up front rather than in installments. We have tried to negotiate with the funeral home, to no avail.
Even worse, in just a couple of days they'll cremate him without our permission and still bill us for at least a couple thousand dollars that we just don't have.
We've spent days looking into getting some kind of assistance to bury our father and such assistance just doesn't seem exist. What little we've found will only help to cremate him which we are desperately trying to avoid.
His death was tremendously painful for us and now we have to face the very real possibility of having to see his body reduced to a few pounds of ashes instead of being buried next to our mother where he belongs.
Dale was a good man that loved his family dearly and was always there for both mom and us despite suffering from a serious and nearly lifelong illness.
Please help us bury our father next to our mother and bring us closure on this matter. We aren't looking for an extravagant funeral but, simply to bury our father and begin to move forward and heal.
