“He’s dead, but his coffin looking kinda fresh tho”
LOL
gucci big pimpin.
dig it up n sell it
It's like pimp my ride but for the deceased
It's pimp my ride, but you don't even get to enjoy it.
Pimp my worm motel...
gucci big pimpin.
Pimp my casket
Coffin makers in Ghana do the same thing. They make coffins of custom shapes like animals and cars to represent and celebrate the departed’s life.

I came here to make the same comment
It's been done since ancient Egypt. People against this practice are ignorant
I may be confused about the whereabouts but somewhere else in Africa they also have these elaborate processions where the pallbearers dance and kind of make a party out of the procession with the casket as they carry it
There's a different trend where the deceased are posed next to their casket as if alive. It's on YT somewhere.
Just commented about that moaning of life episode then immediately read this.
Don't embalm me, and I don't need no casket. Just drop me in the ground, cover me with some good dirt, and let me feed some pretty flowers and a few trees.
You should research a mushroom burial suit💗
@@crystlgy haha, I just did! Thanks for the great idea lol.
Did you know Luke Perry was buried in one? (Feel bad, didn't even know he was dead)🥺
@@crystlgy those are awesome
@@Tis_I_SirJames no I had no idea about Luke Perry, but I love that. I'm Canadian and on the west coast somewhere I remember hearing that the first ever dedicated eco-cemetery was opened not too long ago. Targeted to accomodate things like mushroom suits, people who wish (like you said) to essentially be dropped in a shallow grave and go back to the earth quickly etc.
@@crystlgy Ask a Mortician is a great resource for that type of funeral rites.
He made & donated an absolutely beautiful coffin for Maleah Davis’ funeral. Her birth father was a family friend & it made such a hard service a little more bearable. I know her family will be forever grateful to them for this❤️
tinaamariee😘 I saw that. God bless him for that
That's a good dude.
He should probably make one for himself if he's going to keep painting without a mask lol
I actually laughed out loud
First thing I thought too
And if he keeps riding without an helmet
Hahaha
Christo Lupo you do realize he’s gonna die either way right
“When I die, bury me inside that Gucci Store. When I die bury me inside that Louie Store.” - 2 Chainz
Bury me next to two clitches
Seeing that little Paw Patrol Sky casket for a little kid was pretty sad though :'(
Kayleigh Ross that was actually for a lady named Martha that died at 86 years of age. She loved her grandkids so much that she catered to them even in her grave
Stay Gold that’s one of the sweetest things I’ve ever heard 🥺
Jarod M why u say “lol”
Make mine a vodka bottle so people know what my hobby was.
bottles right?
Drinking :)
I’m waiting for an r/whoosh
Also put speakers inside for hardbass
Whoosh
A guy in Ghana, West Africa started this! He makes caskets for politicians, business people and anyone else that can pay.
That can pay😂
Why has no one heard of him? Because his quality was junk
@@jodysanders1076 LOL
Jody Sanders or maybe cause he’s on the other side of the world?😂
@@brandonbohannon4903 I guess that's why nobody in the US has heard of Honda. derp
“Nobody in the world is doing what we’re doing”
*Laughs in Ghanaian*
I am from Edna , lived there my whole life and what Trey does to help our families going through a hard time is so inspiring . Edna is an extremely small town and we're all proud of you buddy ! May you continue with your success .
-Go Big Blue
This has been done in Ghana for decades 🙌🏿
A canoe or fish for a fisherman
A cutlass or cocoa pod for a farmer
🤷🏾♂️
Beautiful ❤️
You know how we Blacks is do it! We're always the1st to do shits and not get credited
"I used to be scared of death, then I stopped wearing a helmet"
I learned about Trey Ganem just recently as he donated custom caskets for Uvalde mass shootings. He's not just talented but also very compassionate, empathetic, and generous person. May God bless him and his family.
Not gonna lie those caskets are fresh to death!!😂😭🙏
We have more of this in Accra, Ghana
That Louie v coffin was made for lil uzi
Tyler the droid - “When I die bury me inside that Gucci Store. When I die bury me inside that Louis Store” - 2 Chainz “Birthday Song”
Its interesting to imagine that they have to work so fast to get it ready in time
Bruh how can you think this is morbid?? This is awesome!
With all the school shootings in America. His business must be booming.
Levvy oof 🥴😓
Gang shootings are bigger business.
More people = more crying = more shootings = more business
Beautiful work GUYS!!
He has a great business he running. Bless these man heart
What a waste of money... I'm just going having my ashes shot out of 12 guage shells lol
When were gone were gone no sense In spending 10000 plus on a box to rot in
mitchel Jackson k
I have to admit this is going out next level.
I love this!!! Its a great way to express individuality! I am definitely doing this !
Now this is my type of content
Looks like a dream job, doing well for himself and making people happy. I can only wonder what archaeologists will think in 2000 years when they dig one of these up.
Damn breh this man got it right. I need one when it’s my time
Very beautiful 🌻
major respect
Morbid or not this man makes some dope looking caskets.
I respect this man
Rip fly
You will be missed 😔👊
It should have been you.
Is what drunk mamma fly says every night to her maggot son
I'd die for one of those custom coffins
Thank you for doing what you do
I'm from Fort Worth, Texas ! I wish I could meet this guy !!!☻🖤💀
i am have seen almost every vice video they are real news not fake news. man they are cooler then anything else on youtube. first person to comment
He goin Brazy wit it doe. The definition of “Fresh to Death” FR
Dying in style. Eventually we are all going to die.
Awesome
DUDE you are a casket artist🤗❤💀
Fun!! Thank you for sharing stuff about the deathcare industry
African guys started this way before theses guy
Pharaohs Fam That isn’t shit compared to this. I’ve seen this fucking comment so many times. “AfRiCaNs Do ThIs”.. yeah okay? They have other companies that do what American companies do but that country is shit because WE DO IT BETTER.
Pharaohs Fam men shut the fuck up with This shit
@@rkbvideos575 You need to calm down with the misplaced chauvinism. You didn't even understand his comment. He just stated that historically this practice has been in place in Africa, since thousand of years now, and this practice isn't new, isolated or a novelty like this documentary made it seem. Also sorry for bursting your bubble but America is one of the western country that outsources the most in all industries. Apple is designed in california but made in China. All american cars have their pieces made in others countries and then assembled in the US, which is a way to bend the law and keep the "made in USA". The parts of your washing machines and all important electronics are made in Turkey, eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia, they were just screwed on by american workers on your soil. Yeah you guys do Levis pants from A to Z, not really a treasure of ingenious craftsmanship. Inform yourself on your own country before spewing Nationalist bullshit. Having plants where parts coming from all over the world are assembled is not "making it better than anybody". Peace
@@Those.who.stay.silent.consent well said
No pun intended but that's what they always say. The blacks came out with everything first . Not !!!
Is there any way he could turn a slammed Honda Civic into a casket?
Tryna hear that VTEC screaming 6tf under XD
A slammed Honda Civic already is a casket. Just Saying
lmao love it
whats that kinda music at the end? very calming
If Imma Be Buried I Wanna Be Buried In Style 🤷♂️
Ceezy The Hippie that’s not very hippy of you
thats so stupid why give my family more debt wtf im dead just use a random box
I grimaced when I saw him painting without a mask :( hope he has a casket for himself
If he's using two step automotive paint he's 2/3 the way there already.
When I die roll me in a blunt wrap
That’s dope
J⭐ already preordered his 😂
That casket is fucking sick though.
❤❤❤talent
his homies gonna dig that shit up later and steal the speakers lmao
Wow cool. Victoria huh. I live in Beeville, Tx 67 miles from Victoria.
Thnk U Mr.Ganem for buildn Vanessa's casket?
The guy whole buys first door in zombies deserves to rest in this casket
Funerals is not for the dead, it’s for the living trying to remember the dead.
I'd hate to put that artwork in the dirt. This is really cool though and im sure it helps the families in feeling like they've honored their loved ones. Might need to save up and see if he can pimp out an urn.
People attending the funeral: imma need to get a pic with the coffin fosho fosho
Nah no thanks, I'd go with natural burial. Or sky burial but I think thats not possible where I live.
Yeah, sky burials are only available for the local population in Tibet. It's a practice that fascinates me too, especially with the religious beliefs behind it.
Good man brother
I want a just do it casket
Your putting more trash in the ground that’s not going to decompose good job helping the environment .
Before saying that no one had done it before check "Artful caskets of Ghana
". These guys have been customizing caskets for like decades. But Trey's is more refined though
If I was rich...I would definitely buy one!! Awesome! 👍🏽
Use Swarovski crystals template. It Would look more crisp!
Try to shape words/numbers templates!
Awesome work!
“Come on guys, just bet”
“Bro John’s inside that”
"The Royal Athenian" casket has video and recording options, as discussed in The Funeral Critic.
True dignity.
I'd like to be buried in a cardboard box and have a tree planted on me. No embalming. As environmentally friendly as possible. Let the energy from my body feed another living thing.
That said, I really appreciate what this guy is doing. Funerals are for the living, not the deceased. So if this helps people cope with the passing of a loved one by making them feel like they're honoring their legacy, then it's great.
Trey: How much chrome do you want on your casket?
Family: Yes
How do you make them so quick for a recently deceased
Nothing wrong with going out in style!
WoW, that is beautiful work! I like the Chanel one please...Can’t afford it now, but I like to arrive up there in style. Then they know who they are dealing with!🤠LoL
The rapper's wife was so sweet.
Pretty bad ass
Wooow he can make a rectangular box 😂
American Folk Morturary Sculpture. In national museums by 2100
I want one modeled from Captain Spock's Torpedo Tube Casket from Star Trek 2 and 3.
I want mine to be a gigantic bong so that everyone who comes to the funeral can take a hit with me one last time!
That paw patrol casket made me tear up a lil bit
I want my casket to look like a fridge and my fridge like a casket
That Chanel casket tho
How much of these things actually decompose?
The ultimate waste of money. When I'm dead I would want the cheapest funeral. If my life insurance pays out a lot just order a bunch of food "for the funeral" and donate it to the poor.
@Jason No insurance company would ever tell you how to spend the payout (so no need to pretend to have a funeral).
“His little quote” that’s kinda talking down on what he did I felt
This video would be so much better with music from the casket from that guy
Not getting buried, burn me up baby😂😂no bugs eating my behind.😦👍But luv the idea of a customized casket.❤Death isnt always boring.👍👍
i love how he talks about what the after life brings him as he pulls out on his dear as fuck harley chopper.
What's the return policy?
They do this in Ghana too.
Is your company in Australia, we would like to metal caskets
I'd want to see it before I died
Costumer: I want some 32’s inch rims, some hydraulics, disco ball, confetti cannon, water slide, PlayStation, full court basketball court, functional bathroom, bounce house and don’t forget the WiFi.
Trey: you got it
Mustard Shows Off His Insane Jewelry Collection | GQ
" I used to be scared of death..... until I started making a fortune" is wat i heard 👂
A rapper who went out being the center of attention, liking the bling, with an oversized casket.....that's a new one.
They've been doing this in ghana for a long time.
This dude needs to make some custom PPE. Also just throw me in the trash
When I'm dead just throw me in the trash
will do
