As most know GoFundMe is a for-profit company. On fundraisers for individuals or businesses it charges a 2.9% payment-processing fee on each donation, along with 30 cents for every donation. That means if a campaign raised $1,000 through 10 donations of $100 each, GoFundMe would collect about $32.

I suspect they removed her phone number so people couldn't circumvent the system. She obviously does not mind her phone number being published so if somebody on here knows her number could they please add it to the posting so that all who want can donate can.

Also if you would like to make a donation that's very small say only five or $10 just post it anonymously. I know some people may only be able to give that amount but are embarrassed to put that next to their name. Please just give whatever you can everything helps.

if you dont have any money the county or state will cremate or bury you. and charities and such can also arrange a burial.

i understand he was a well liked guy and did play top notch pool. but his last wishes was for the pool community to donate money to him so he could have some vacations he never did with his own money. and they did. and he didnt think about leaving that money for his family.

The funeral business probably like religion is a big scam that preys on vulnerable people. People don't even know the actual laws I'm fairly certain that in most cases embalming is not even necessary or required.

If he was ever in the service, they will cover most things, it will be modest but still nice.

Well as I am sort of semi expert on VA. They will bury you at no cost in National Cemetary.

If death was caused by SERVICE CONNECTED, they the VA will reimburse some modest funeral cost.

If death had zero to do with SERVICE CONNECTED PROBLEM, No REIMBURSEMENT FOR Funeral Director, Coffin, etc.😭
 
Must have changed, they covered expenses for my dad. They paid for the transport of his body from Reno to Wisconsin, covered some of the funeral director costs if I remember right, covered a pine box that was draped with a flag, covered the grave marker and burial site. This was a lot of years ago in the 70's, I was young married one son, and just struggling to get buy myself with no extra money. If I remember right, I paid about $300 extra to cover some of the costs, and I had to borrow to do that at the time. His death had nothing to do with the service. Things may be different now, but in the 70's they covered quite a bit, and I know that for a fact as I was the one that made all the arrangements. Also was buried at a local cemetery in a section for veterans. Your facts may be right in today's times, but weren't that way in the past, and that was why I posted what I did as I was just trying to help based on what I went through. Just looked it up and yes they now say at the national cemetery, but I also found this, and this is probably similar to what I got help with as I was an only child, and none of his brothers or sisters wanted to chip in. I think the funeral director handled most of this for me.

What kind of burial benefits can I get?​

If you’re eligible, you may receive these benefits:
  • VA burial allowance for burial and funeral costs
  • VA plot or interment allowance for the cost of the plot (gravesite) or interment
  • VA transportation reimbursement for the cost of transporting the Veteran’s remains to the final resting place
Note: You'll need to pay for these services or other costs first before you apply for an allowance.

I think they provide a marker
 
With all the available tech, volunteering might not be such a good idea. (apologies to those that imagine it to be a noble thing) If you have well placed friends to protect any possible afterlife, maybe. Otherwise, its just those geeky scientists and their inquiring minds. Consider, what is the half life of sentience?

Was your Dad 100% Service Connected, or was cause of Death attributed to Service?

Yes the VA will reimburse for expense, and VA is constantly Changing.

Just recognized Blue Water aNavy in specific ships to Agent Orange Law.

Also recently added a few more presumptive disease to Agent Orange list.
 
No, cause of death had nothing to do with the service. I edited my other post with some more things I just found when I looked up the benefits on the VA site. There are still benefits available to help with costs it seems for those that qualify, and I qualified. I see it says now that you have to pay up front and you will be reimbursed, I know that I did not pay for anything up front. And yes they still cover the marker.
Here is the rest of what it says

Am I eligible for allowances to help pay for a Veteran’s burial and funeral costs?​

You may be eligible for Veterans burial allowances if you’re paying for the burial and funeral costs and you won’t be reimbursed by any other organization, like another government agency or the Veteran’s employer. You must also meet all of these requirements.
One of these relationships or professional roles describes your connection to the Veteran:
  • You’re the Veteran’s surviving spouse (Note: We recognize same-sex marriages.), or
  • You’re the surviving partner from a legal union (a relationship made formal in a document issued by the state recognizing the union), or
  • You’re a surviving child of the Veteran, or
  • You’re a parent of the Veteran, or
  • You’re the executor or administrator of the Veteran’s estate (someone who officially represents the Veteran)
The Veteran must not have received a dishonorable discharge, and one of these circumstances must be true:
  • The Veteran died as a result of a service-connected disability (a disability related to service), or
  • The Veteran died while getting VA care, either at a VA facility or at a facility contracted by VA, or
  • The Veteran died while traveling with proper authorization, and at VA's expense, either to or from a facility for an examination, or to receive treatment or care, or
  • The Veteran died with an original or reopened claim for VA compensation or pension pending at the time of death, if they would’ve been entitled to benefits before the time of death, or
  • The Veteran died while receiving a VA pension or compensation, or
  • The Veteran died while eligible for a VA pension or compensation at time of death, but instead received full military retirement or disability pay
Or:
  • The Veteran had been getting a VA pension or compensation when they died, or
  • The Veteran had chosen to get military retired pay instead of compensation
Note: We’ll also provide an allowance for the cost of transporting a Veteran’s remains for burial in a national cemetery.

You can’t get burial allowances for certain individuals​

We don’t provide burial allowances if the individual died:
  • On active duty, or
  • While serving as a member of Congress, or
  • While serving a federal prison sentence
