Help to pay for my dad's funeral costs

Napier, Hawke's Bay

On the 3rd January my dad Douglas Lumb passed away, at 79yrs old,

Sadly, due to a misunderstanding around life insurance, there are no funds available to cover his funeral costs. This has left our family facing unexpected financial pressure during an already heartbreaking time.

We are humbly asking for any support you may be able to give, no matter how small, to help us lay our dad to rest with the dignity and love he deserves.

Thank you for your kindness, support, and for keeping our family in your thoughts during this difficult time.
