"With homicides in New Orleans striking poor families disproportionately, few are positioned to pay $5,000, the average cost of a funeral. Some public money is available to help cover expenses, but few families know about the aid, and not every family of murder victims qualifies for it." (TIMES-PICAYUNE) This article describes the plight of poor people who are unable to find the money to bury their loved ones.
