After his shocking death, Bishop Eddie Long of the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church,  was laid to rest yesterday with his family, clergy, former Gov. Roy Barnes, Deion Sanders and others present and delivering tributes.

It was gathered that he was buried in a $100k coffin, while his remains wore a clerical gown.

Eddie Lee Long was an American pastor who served as the senior pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, a megachurch in unincorporated DeKalb County, Georgia, from 1987 until his death.
