There is a funeral that I have to pay for and I'm not expecting people to help me with the expenses.
Are you concerned that you won't be able to afford the funeral?
I don't think so, but hopefully people will offer help when they hear about it.
It is helpful you share the funeral expenses of a loved one to share the burden. If you need extra help there are other options like cremation to save money.
I really hope it won't be necessary, but I don't think my friends can be relied up, though maybe they will surprise me.
Funeral expenses can be a lot and if you need help then you should be direct and let your loved ones know that you need financial support. It's a lot of money for you to hold the burden alone and if you let them know then I'm sure a few people will be there to help.
