Joyce Bocook Memorial Fund

My mother passed away inunexpectedly yesterday morning on 2/29/16. She went quickly and that gave me a small amount of peace but truly I was not prepared to let her go. It has been a heartbreaking situation for me and mt children. She never wanted to talk about death and while I respected her wishes it now puts me in the horrible place of not being about to afford to take her home and that was one of her last voice mails to me for me to please take her home. She simply wanted to go home. It broke me in half not to be able to just take her home. So I am trying my very best to get her there but with no life insurance nor pre planned arrangements it has been very hard. She is only survived by me and her two grandchildren and while she never wanted to be cremated this is the choice I have had to make. I don't currently have the funding to cremate my Mother. Her body is at Memorial Park here in Memphis. They can verify the cost. Their Non-Ceremonial Cremation package is $3495. 00. We will unfortunately not be allowed to have a memorial or visitation but I am unable to fund it which saddens me but I just want her home. They charge 150.00 dollars a day to keep her body there and my Mom loved antiques so my only wish is to allow her to rest in a burl wood urn that looks like her but is 495.00 so I am asking, no I am begging if you can give any amount to help me with this my family would be deeply thankful and any money not used for the charge to keep her there because sadly i dont know when I will be able to lay her to rest will be donated to the Memphis Humane Society in her name. She loved everybody but gosh she loved her pups so there will be some happy babies at The rainbow Bridge. So please If you can't donate please share. Please help me bring my Mother home. I miss her so much.
