Billy Graham’s family riven over burial plans
This article is really sad. Basically Franklin Graham is trying to make money on his future parents death by not burying them in the place they want and bury them instead in a place where he could make some cash on it.
The building is not a library, she says, but a large barn and silo — a reminder of Billy Graham’s early childhood on a dairy farm near Charlotte. Once it’s completed in the spring, visitors will pass through a 40-foot-high glass entry cut in the shape of a cross and be greeted by a mechanical talking cow. They will follow a path of straw through rooms full of exhibits. At the end of the tour, they will be pointed toward a stone walk, also in the shape of a cross, that leads to a garden where the bodies of Billy and Ruth Graham could lie.
Hmm, While I agree that this is not the place that Billy Graham and his wife wanted to be buried, it actually may help their own cause.
The son, if responsible, could use the money for causes his parents believed in. I however, have issues with him NOT going with his own parents wishes. There is a huge discrepency in what the son wants and what his famous parents want. Because of this I went out and bought my own burial insurance, and made sure everyone knew what I wanted at this point in my life. Burial Insurance – what I got.
Its sad that all the recent press has focused on this, but its for good reason. Hopefully the son will rethink his barn idea.
