EAST ST. LOUIS — Five tiny metal caskets lined the front of the church Saturday, each wrapped in a custom vinyl design.

Sabrina Dunigan’s five children died Aug. 6 in an apartment fire, its cause still undetermined. Their grandfather and his wife jumped from the apartment’s second floor while Dunigan was away picking up her boyfriend.
 
“The community is hurting,” East St. Louis Mayor Robert Eastern III said before Saturday’s funeral. “We stand in support of the mom, emotionally and spiritually.”
