Man builds customized caskets for children killed in fire


Last week, a fire tragically killed five of six children of an Edna, Texas, couple.  The parents, Johnny Hernandez Jr. and Annabel Ortiz, were devastated when a fast-moving fire swept through their mobile home on Tuesday.

The parents reached out to Trey Ganem, who also lives in Edna, who paints custom caskets and has been featured in many magazines and on television for his work.

In his garage, he created five custom caskets for the children, with different themes. The themes included "Call of Duty," WWE and "Frozen."  The casket for the oldest child was coated in his school colors, name and jersey number.

Ganem has received overwhelming praise on his Facebook page.
