Need to know what organizations will help with funerals in Georgia?

Question

M uncle died of throat cancer and he did not have any insurance. i need to know what groups help people out that are in this situation. He lived in Elberton Georgia.

Answer 1

My brother died recently and didn't have a cent. We had him cremated.  We also rented a room for visitation. And we put a pretty big add in the paper. The total cost was about $1500. So take off everything you don't need and the rest of the family pitch in and you can afford it!

Good luck

Answer 2

call your local United Way or Catholic Charities office, they will give you suggestions.   Did he have a church? do YOU have a church? Why do you need a funeral anyway?  People get too hung up on ceremony and "show"....what did your uncle want--he probably was a simple man and wouldnt like all that c**p.

Answer 3

Was he a veteran?

Bless your heart.

I was  trying to do searches with the words

"indigent"   and "funeral" and "Georgia"

That's when I found out about possible help for military veterans.

Maybe try the words "indigent burial" ?

Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

Hope you do find something!
