Nearly one week after the deadly school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, victims killed in the massacre are being laid to rest.

Nineteen of those killed during the massacre at Robb Elementary School -- 18 children and one teacher -- will be buried in custom caskets made by Trey Ganem of SoulShine Industries, based in Edna, Texas.Ganem says he was contacted by the Texas Funeral Directors Association to make the custom caskets on the day of the shooting. He told CNN Monday that he and his 25-year-old son worked tirelessly to get all the caskets assembled, designed, and delivered to funeral homes.

Marisol Gonzalez of SOLart Designs and Justin Watts of The Graphix House helped with graphics and decals for each casket, Ganem says.Read More"We don't just put a vinyl wrap on top. We actually custom paint every single one. We take the casket completely apart, and we paint the hardware, we paint the bars," Ganem told CNN."The class and the passion that we put into these is bar none."Each casket costs between $3,400 and $3,800 to make, Ganem says.
