REQUEST Funeral costs

Hi all! So, my mom died last week and now the funeral home is calling which is the last thing I want to deal with at the moment due to... obvious circumstances. But I don't have much of a choice. The holidays are the worst time for funerals, and I hate even making posts.

My job (school lunch lady) doesn't pay me for the two weeks off I get from winter break, so that's a check gone.

Anyways, I don't have enough money, nobody in my family is willing to help pay for it bc they didn't really like my mom.

The cremation is 1700, I have 700 of it. And obviously I don't expect to get all of that from a reddit post but ANY help is appreciated.

Thank you by the way. I hate this situation. I hate how I found out, I hate when it happened I hate it.

What city is she in? I know at the time y Mom died I could barely think or figure out quick decisions. Lean in all of us redditors for a minute and let us Google.

She's in Alabama, and I had googled it! The funeral home she is in, doesn't do payment plans

DM me. I'm with the Episcopal Diocese in GA. I'll try to reach out to the Diocese in Alabama and see if anyone can assist.
