"Where have you laid him?" Jesus asked the grieving sisters of his friend Lazarus who had died (John 11:34). The COVID-19 virus will visit many families that are financially vulnerable and unprepared. In addition to their grief, they will wonder, "Where will we lay" our loved one who has been unexpectedly taken from us.

Please address all your questions to our co-workers at Trappist Caskets at 888-433-6934. This offer is extended while inventory lasts.
