Coffin making is big business in Malawi.
Everywhere along the roads you'll see "Coffin Workshops."
One sign in particular caught my eye: "Heaven Bound Funeral Parlor."
I guess it's putting a positive spin on it.
The booming coffin-building industry is yet another grim reminder of the realities of life in Malawi... the cruel realities of rampant AIDS, hunger and child mortality.
In some areas, the coffin makers can barely keep up with demand.
People here look forward to their home in heaven. But how wonderful it would be if, first, they could live a life worth living here on earth. Pray for Malawi!
