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.

Like you, I was expecting the photon torpedo coffin.
When I first saw this page, I didn't even realize that that was the Star Trek coffin.
They definitely need to do the photon torpedo coffin.

stupit is is stupit is stupit does who wrote this story never mind we dont need to know
so, it's Star Trek. Get over it! People get burried in their cadilacs and other such goofy ideas. So do us all a favor and don't waste a lot of bandwidth whinning over a sylized coffin with a Star Trek emblem on it.
Sheez!

Death.

amount of comfort to a family..

there own funeral..
