Losing a loved one can be financially devastating for those struggling to get by

For Lehigh Valley families already struggling financially, the unexpected death of a loved one can be financially devastating. With traditional funeral costs around $10,000, many families are choosing cremation for a loved one, donation of a body to science or just not claiming the body. Others have resorted to social media for fundraising campaigns. Lehigh County has seen the effects, with a growing number of unclaimed bodies each year.
