Casket Final Picture

On Tuesday 02-02-2016 my Dad ( James Woods Wheatcroft ) passed away and joined my Mom in Heaven . I had more relief than grief because he was in so much pain and suffering . Sitting in a wheel chair all day . I took the casket to the Funeral Home and then on Friday we all met at the cemetery for a Veterans Memorial .After the Memorial , Myself , my brother Rick and my brother Jerry each hammered a brass nail through the lid into the vertical handrail supports to seal the casket . May he rest in peace . Love you Pop .

God bless. The one thing you make that you hate to see put to use. It’s a beautiful casket. I’m sure your dad was proud of that.

The grief of loss, the joy of memories, the relief that the pain has ended, and the satisfaction, honor, humility of creating something so deeply personal. God Bless.
