Cremation and urn cost for Kishsa Carnes
Donation protected
I know it’s been a while since a lot of people have heard from us, but I’m in desperate need of help. My mother, Kishsa, has bipolar disorder and has been off medication for a few months now. She recently tried working with me to get back on her meds after she had come home from a psychiatric hospital and had told me she’d stay on them while I go to Massachusetts to visit family. She did not. I arrived on June 13th and unfortunately got the call on June 25th that she was found deceased in her apartment. I am returning to Minnesota on the 3rd of July to get my mother cremated if enough funds are raised and hopefully will be able to put some money aside for a few keepsakes for my family with some of her ashes in them. I’d like to fly back temporarily to give them out since I know she’d want to be with her family. I do not need any money for myself, I get by where I currently live and all of the proceeds will be going strictly to the funeral home and if there’s any left over, it will be going to a plane ticket and to the keepsakes for our family members. The cost of the cremation is estimated to be $3090 without tax, I’m hoping to raise around $200 to pick out a beautiful urn for her, the flight there and back is $700, and the keepsakes around $250. Any help is greatly appreciated beyond words.
