John Tessin's funeral expenses

My father, John Tessin passed away in his sleep on May 15, 2017. Although he has been suffering with pancreatic cancer his death is a sudden shock that we all believed that we would have had more time together with him. We were under the impression that his VA benefits would cover the expense but we have come to find out that they are only covering a portion of costs. So here I am asking you as friends and family to help us give my father a proper burial.
