“My grandfather, who we called Opa, was a carpenter his entire life. He built half the houses in my hometown and loved to give them away AT COST to young couples getting a start in life. When my grandmother passed, Opa began building his own coffin, and it was beautiful. He asked my mom to put in nice red satin upholstery, and when it was finished, he stood it up at his 90th birthday party and asked us all to pose with him in it.”
“We’d always known he served in WWII, but like many men, he never talked about it. We learned after his passing that he’d signed up when circumcision was still required, and he volunteered for the procedure so he could go fight. Once enlisted, they put his carpentry skills to use building bridges, but for the most part, he spent his time making coffins to send boys home.”
Here’s some photos of Opa 🥹 (and his coffin), provided by the original poster.
