Yesterday my father’s body was brought from the funeral home to the @BillyGraham Training Center at @TheCoveNC. His simple plywood casket, like my mother’s, was built by convicted murderers at Angola Prison. 1/2

We put a Bible with him in the casket & the casket is placed behind a pulpit. We felt this was symbolic since he stood behind a pulpit most of his life preaching the Gospel. 2/2
