Assist with Ernest Cortese's unexpected death Funeral Costs

Hi all! My daddy (Ernest Cortese) passed away unexpectedly last year from being administered a zpack for a cold when he had cardiovascular disease. Not only has this taken a terrible toll emotionally, as he has many years left to live, he was not set up financially as he never expected to die at such a young age. Ive paid my mother's mortgage etc. while social security paid out, however we are still waiting to get a small sum of life insurance to pay for his funeral. I have 3 children, 2 toddlers and have hit a wall financially. It was suggested to me that I should start a go fund me through a friend. I don't want his good name to be tarnished in any way shape or form, he was a hard working man and was never late paying a bill. I just want to make things right financially, as I know he would want me to do, and he so rightfully deserves. I TRULY appreciate anyone who can help me keep his name in good standing.
