Help Us Honor Christi Drake's Memory

Donation protected
I am writing to you today to let you know about the sudden loss of the love of my life, Christi Drake.

Everyone that knew Christi woul tell you how sweet she was. Always staying in touch and never letting you go until she asked about you and your family’s. And never ending a call without saying “I love you so much”

We are absolutely devastated by Christi’s passing and are struggling to find the funds to cover the cost of the service. Christi just lost her mother this February and she would have wanted her service to be held at Sunset Memorial Gardens & Funeral Home in Odessa, TX where she chose for her mother’s funeral. We have spoken to Sunset Memorial Gardens & Funeral Home to get a quote on the costs we are looking at. The breakdown of all the costs involved in a funeral service for Christi are.

Basic Service. $3,030.00
Embalming. $1,495.00
Bathing, casketing $295.00
Use of the facility for the funeral. $695.00
Transportation from Killeen to Odessa
$1,011
Use of the hearse $595.00
Utility vehicle to transport flowers $195.00
Memorial package $175.00
Casket. $3,500
Casket spray flowers. $450.00
grave lot and vault w/admin fees. 7,179.25
Total Cost.= $19,542.25

If able we are hoping to have Christi’s funeral the week of March 17, 2025. I’ve started a fundraiser to collect donations for Christ’s funeral service and end of life costs.

Please consider donating if you are able to do so. We are so very grateful for every donation during this difficult time.

With love,
Brandon Drake
