With nowhere to go to seek assistance and a monthly wage of less than $1,500, Mary was at a loss — until local funeral parlour, Funeral Guru, reached out to help, China Press reported on Monday (Sept 28).

“Our hearts sank when we received the body of this little angel this morning at SGH Mortuary,” the funeral parlour said in a Facebook post on Sept 4.
“Her mother was deeply grieving and requested that we assist her in handling the entire funeral process during this incredibly difficult time.”
Struggling with financial difficulties, limited English skills and unfamiliarity with local funeral procedures, Mary was reportedly left uncertain about what to do after losing her unborn child.
