Ruth Graham, the wife of evangelist Billy Graham, was laid to rest in the Prayer Garden on the grounds of the recently-dedicated Billy Graham Library in Charlotte yesterday. The private service was attended by family and close friends. Ruth Bell Graham was 87. (http://www.bgea.org/)
A quick story about Ms Graham’s coffin:
On a visit to the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola, Louisiana in 2005, Franklin Graham noticed some coffins being produced by the inmates. Upon inquiry, he learned this was a project inmates began several years ago. The warden at the prison had the inmates construct simple plywood coffins for themselves and others who could not afford to purchase them. In addition to making the caskets, the prisoners – many of them former hardened criminals who are now committed Christians – also pray over them. Franklin was struck by the simple and natural beauty of these caskets and requested that the prisoners design and build two of them for his parents. The coffins are made of plywood…The Grahams requested no special upgrades to the caskets, which cost around $200 to make.
