46 year-old businessman, Trey Ganem runs a casket design company in Texas and he's offering free coffins to victims off the Sutherland Springs church shooting. His seven employees build personalized coffins that usually sell for about $3,500 but he's offering to provide free custom-made coffins for the people who died at First Baptist Church and so far, he's gotten requests to make 15 caskets.
