EDNA, Texas — A Texas man worked for days on end to customize caskets for the 19 children who were killed after a gunman opened fire at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, last Tuesday.
Trey Ganem, the owner of SoulShine Industries, a company that specializes in custom caskets and urns, said he was contacted by a trooper and funeral directors after the shootings to see if he could help.
"We got to talk with the families and the funeral directors have helped us, and it's just been wonderful to be able to know exactly what they wanted and [ensure] each one [is] personalized to that specific person," Ganem said. He said he feels speaking with the families and parents of the children directly has started the healing process.
"Our emotions when we finished the last casket, we all just looked at each other and we started crying and when you're hugging, it was like, 'we did it and they all turned out beautiful.' We did 19 caskets in three and a half days. But it was just a relief."
