On Saturday 16th July my amazing brother lost his life at the age of 49. He was the life and soul of any party and thought he'd live forever. My sister and I have been left with the bill for his funeral. I didn't realise how many friends he had and everyone wants to be a part of his sending off. He loved flowers and plants but wasn't one for cut flowers, which he considered a waste of money. I was thinking if any of his friends would like to contribute to the expensive costs then this gesture would be extremely appreciated.

If we raise more than needed to help towards or pay for it, we will donate the difference to the stroke charity in his memory and also look into donations towards one of the homeless charitys in Liverpool.
