Help Ease the Burden of Funeral Expenses

My name is Troy Stewart, and I am desperately asking for your help. My parents passed away on June 14, 2017 (father: Raymond Stewart) and my mother on 03/13/2018. For unknown reasons, my father cancelled their life insurance prior to his death. As a result, it was left to their children (me and my 3 siblings) to pay for the funeral costs. My siblings weren't in a financial status to pay, but neither was I. I had to max out all of my credit cards and tap into my retirement fund to pay for the funeral costs and travel expenses (I live in Seattle, Washington; my parents resided in New Orleans, Louisiana where I was born and raised).

It has been a huge financial strain on me and my spouse in the last 7+ years as my parents placed that burden on their children to pay for their funeral costs. My family didn't come from much, but my parents always provided for us; we never went without. Yet, the funeral cost needed to

I love my parents, and I miss them every day. However, I am only doing this now as I'm embarrassed, discouraged, and depressed to admit I need help as my parents have done so much for me. Yet, the bills keep mounting. My family and extended family scrounged enough money to recently provide gravestones for my parents.

Any assistance would be amazing and appreciated. I wouldn't be asking if the need wasn't great.

Thank you and God Bless.
