And the family can't come up with 5K themselves? These campaigns always read like, "Help us raise the money so one of us don't have to sell their second car."
Of course, that might not be the case here. They might have done everything they can already and just need help with that last little bit. On the other hand, what's the point of flying a body across the world? The person has already passed on, just bury/cremate the body where he is and hold a funeral at a different location. I'll never understand this obsession with what is basically just the shell of the actual person.
