Patentia family seeks help to bury grandmother

Apr 06, 2025 News

Kaieteur News- A Patentia, West Bank Demerara (WBD) family is seeking assistance to help bury a 95-year-old mother and grandmother who died recently at the West Demerara Regional Hospital.

Sharon Samshudeen, the deceased’s granddaughter told Kaieteur News that she does not have enough money to bury her grandmother.

Samshudeen works in a canteen and her income is barely sufficient to take care of herself, family and the funeral expenses.

The Ministry of Human Service and Social Protection has contributed $50,000 towards the burial but the cheapest offer by the Ezekiel Funeral Home is $365,000.

Unable to source all of the cash Samshudeen has been left with no choice but to turn to the public for help.

“We did want to bury Monday but we had to push back fuh see how much money we could get,” Samshudeen said.

The funeral has to be rescheduled because the body cannot be removed from the funeral home until she pays up.

Persons desirous of helping the Samshudeen family can make contact with Sharon on mobile number 592-637-6858.
