The plywood coffin of Ruth Graham

Ruth Bell Graham, wife of the renowned evangelist, passed on a few days ago. Her coffin, it was reported, was made of plywood by several inmates at a major prison facility in the South.

Billy Graham prayed then kissed a red rose and placed it atop the coffin.

Perhaps making your own simple “box” may appeal to some of you. It does to me. The savings, methinks, would be considerable and such a project might increase one’s humility. At least, it should.
