My father’s passing was completely unexpected, and my family and I are still coming to terms with our loss. We are now faced with the difficult task of arranging his cremation, and the costs involved have added extra stress during an already painful time. We want to honor his memory and give him the respectful farewell he deserves, but we need help to make that possible.

The funds raised will go directly toward the cremation services, which include the transfer of his remains to the funeral home, the death certificate, and the cremation permit. Along with the basic cremation services, a temporary urn will be provided; however, we are hoping to provide a more permanent and meaningful urn for his ashes. Every contribution will help us cover these essential expenses and allow us to focus on grieving and remembering my father.

To friends, family, and the community we are surrounded by, my family and I are asking for support. Not only with donations but with kind words, prayers, or even just sharing this fundraiser. We thank everyone in advance for the help and support with getting my father cremated—it’s much appreciated.
