My brother's homecoming is Saturday October 26 and I have until Wednesday October 23 to finish paying and finalize the funeral so that he can be buried on Saturday. My brother has been dead since October 13 and Im trying not to keep his body out of the ground to much longer. Anything would help and be greatly appreciated. Thank you for what you can do so for my brother
