Star Trek Line of Funeral Products “Launches”
By Michael Santo

You’ll recall earlier when Eternal Image announced an agreement to design, manufacture and market a line of Star Trek branded funeral products. Today at the National Funeral Director Association Expo (NFDA) they debuted the line, and showed off their first two products — an urn (below) and a casket (above).
When I first heard about this (in my original article), I thought a photon torpedo style casket a la Star Trek II would be great, and it looks like the casket pretty much follows that idea. The urn is more stylized.
You can find the product web page here. The urn will be available later this year, and the casket in 2008. Memorials and vaults will be available next year as well. Unfortunately (!), pricing is not yet available.
If you want to be notified when the two products “lift off”, there are links on the product page.

And on the tombstone, it read “Dork”.

Well, if one doesn’t have a life the first time around, John, they probably won’t in the after

iantrekman is right. Unless it says dork on the tombstone nobody will know you are buried in a stupid casket. All that money spent for nothing.
