EDNA – Trey Ganem is just a little bit country and a whole lot of rock ‘n’ roll.

His killer beard could easily land him on a cable television show about hunting animals – which he’s done – and his custom paint jobs and bodywork can be appreciated on many cars cruisin’ the Crossroads.

But what the tattooed father of three is doing nowadays might surprise some: He customizes caskets.

Standing in his warehouse – a hidden gem near downtown Edna – Ganem hovers over a vat of water as he slowly and carefully places inked film in the bath. Using his index finger, he taps away a few bubbles forming and then sprays the sheet with a chemical to separate it from the design.
