Andrew “Hollywood” Peck is getting a Batmobile casket for Christmas — but it’s the kind of gift no parent wants their child to receive.
The 10-year-old Portsmouth, Ohio, boy has a rare genetic brain disorder and may not make it to the holiday.
That’s where Trey Ganem comes in. The bearded and tattooed Dark Knight from Edna, Texas, crafts custom caskets and donates them to families touched by tragedy as a way of guiding them through the crushing sadness.
“It celebrates life and brings out the campfire stories,” Ganem said.
Andrew’s grandmother, Annette Peck, who has raised Andrew for most of his life, is well aware that some might think a Batmobile coffin is macabre.
