Funeral Costs

*UPDATE 9/23/2026*
I just got a message from Jayne at 8:57pm tonight(Wednesday 9/23)Larry passed away at 7:46pm. My heart is absolutely broken because I KNOW, by doing the research, how much a funeral is going to cost, at least a rough estimate, $10,000-$15,000 and I don't know how else to help Jayne. My heart breaks everyday, because she has been my rock daily, even going through what she is right now, she makes sure I am ok, and I am determined to do as much as I can to pay it forward. I don't know the INCREDIBLE people, that have been blessed enough to REALLY know Jayne and Larry, so I am going to try and get this in their area, and I ask if you are able, PLEASE help her if you are able to, financially to cover the funeral costs, because I have seen the itemized cost for every single service, even just the basic, pricing, and I just cried, because I am trying to help, but my trying isn't accomplishing anything because in North Platte, nobody knows the amazing woman she is, the hardships she's been living through, and now with Larry being gone, the loneliness she's experiencing. I just want her to be able to really grieve, but sadly without their communities help, I don't know what to do. So please if you can, please help take some of the financial strain off of her and God bless every single person who reads this, and donates, or helps in any other way to Jayne. Oh and I wanted to share one more thing, because it's beautiful, Larry held on, with the labored breathing, for 23 hours, passing away at 7:46pm, and I don't think that's a coincidence. Jayne and Larry were married in July, the 7th month, and this year celebrated 46 years of Marriage. ❤️ I told her, to me, it was his way of letting her know everything was going to work out, that he loves her and I told her she has an amazing Guardian Angel now. God Bless all of you and thank you. The funeral services don't HAVE to be paid before the funeral, although that would be ideal, but I tried a GoFundMe and it wouldn't let me set it up, and make Jayne the only beneficiary, because I don't need or want anything except to help her. She is what strength looks like in my eyes, and the prices of everything are so unrealistic it makes me sad, mad, frustrated, and I feel completely helpless.
