This story touched my heart. Trey Ganem made five caskets free of charge after all five children, ages 5 - 15, were tragically killed in a house fire. Instead of dressing them in a somber brown wood, Ganem designed each casket to reflect the childrens personalities. For Noah Ortiz, that means a casket bearing his school colors and mascot, the cowboy, and his number-50 football jersey. Julian Ortiz, the wrestling fan, will be laid to rest in a black casket with his name in red letters and a W resembling the WWE logo. Six-year-old Nicholas Ortiz loved video games. His black casket features the Call of Duty logo and the phrase, Nicholas Got Called To Duty. Sisters Areyanah Hernandez, 6, and Lilyana Hernandez, 5, loved the movie Frozen. Their pink and blue glittered caskets are topped with princess crowns. Ganem, an artist who spent most of his career designing hot rods, started applying his skills to caskets this year. Its sad work, but he said its worth it to see how his caskets can change the mood of a room, especially at a childs funeral.
