Too often, bereaved families scramble to cover costs for a memorial after a loved one unexpectedly passes away. Many families turn to online funding — GoFundMe proudly describes itself as the leading online funeral fundraiser, with 125,000-plus campaigns raising $400 million a year. Other families aren’t so lucky. You see a lot of funeral car washes where families will stand outside gas stations, and what they’re doing is they’re raising money to pay for the funeral.
