Family-run company, worked 20hr days to donate 19 custom caskets for victims of the Uvalde shooting

Smaller caskets are rarely stocked in bulk. So Ganem, who is based in Edna, Texas, near the Gulf Coast, had to order them from a manufacturer in Griffin, Georgia, potentially jeopardizing on-time deliveries for grieving families whose funeral services would start within a week.

Ganem said the manufacturer worked for 20 hours straight to get the orders out on time. Then his close friend Bubba Hoffman hired a Texas trucking company to make the 26-hour trip from Texas to Georgia and then back to Texas. When the delivery arrived at 2 a.m. Friday, Ganem and his son Billy Ganem worked nonstop, getting only a couple of hours of sleep. The father and son usually manage the shop alone, but Trey Ganem said as many as a dozen people volunteered to help, some of whom traveled to Edna from as far as Corpus Christi, Texas, to help paint, sand, and apply vinyl to the child-size caskets.

By Saturday, the crew was making the three-and-a-half-hour drive to Uvalde from Edna to donate eight completed caskets. Ganem expects to deliver the remaining caskets Sunday. In all, he prepared 19 caskets for Uvalde victims: 18 of the 19 children and one adult.

1. You know, I don't know what to say about this.

Small town funeral home, trucker and casket manufacturer come together!
Certainly makes a mass shooting of kids go down better
a heartwarming story. If I had a dime for every time a community comes
together after a mass shooting.
Ask Ganem, Bubba, Billy and Trey their opinions on "gun control" and
prepare to be disappointed. Yes, I'm bitter.
