VERY interesting little film from the Trappist monks of New Melleray Abbey. As a funeral director, I would have one of these shipped to me from time to time. Each time one showed up (there are several different models) they were solid, well made, very simple, and blessed by the monks before being sent off. Lotsa good juju there, it radiated out of the wood.
This is a wonderful introduction to how the monks make the caskets, and the evolution of their business with the help of a local entrepreneur. Having to build a worldly concern around the otherworldly monks took a bit of doing, the manager says, but its a manner of realizing the primary needs of everyone involved and making it work.
