When someone dies and you have no money for a funeral?

SSI might offer some assistance; try contacting a local funeral director and ask them what the best way to proceed is.

No Money For Funeral

When My mother in law died, she had no insurance and no money for the funeral. The funeral home wasn't real happy about it, but they had to accept a few hundred dollars that Social security paid them. Though the casket wasn't the greatest, the funeral otherwise was performed the same as one costing alot more. We had to fill out a paper at the funeral home to get it paid for. If he served any time in the military, he can be buried in a VA cemetary, and they help with the funeral also. it's so typical in this country that someone should have to even worry about something like this while losing a loved one.

My prayers are with you all.

Maybe you can help your friend more by calling these places and gathering the information for her. It might be less stressful and painful for you to call around than it would be for her to do it.

Check with your local churches and funeral homes. Many of those places can help or will be able to direct you to people or organizations that will help.

My friend went through this when her brother died. I think a funeral home was able to help out and direct her to some places that helped.

Don't know where you are, but here is an example of a place that helps:

Funeral Help Program (FHP) 1236 Ginger Crescent. Virginia Beach, VA 23453 USA. 757-427-0220

Just went through this last year with my father-in-law unexpectedly passing. Most funeral homes have a payment option plan. You pay an affordable amount per month, for a set timeframe. My deepest sympathies.

Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the last couple years, I'm sure you've heard of the Paleo Diet. Read here https://tr.im/paleodietplan

I hate to even call it a diet, because it's really just the real way that humans have eaten for almost 1.9 Million years, as opposed to the modern-day processed food diet full of grains, sugars, and processed vegetable oils.

I am so sorry to hear about all the bad things that has happened to your friend. Has she talked to her church they might be able to help her, most funeral homes have a payment plan for unexpected deaths. My thoughts and prayers are with your friend and her family.

Write an essay telling the perdicament to Modestneed.org or Salvation Army.They may can help her with some of the monetary problems.

God Bless

Normally the people who support her and her family would hold a fund raiser for the husbands funeral costs. (car wash...ect.) Or the family and friends would just donate money to help cover the costs. I'm really sorry to hear about your friend. I hope everything goes well with him and his family! :(
