With J.J. Abrams' Star Trek about a month away, we knew there would be a constant flow of merchandising tie-ins before and after the film's release. It's safe to say few fans could have predicted the latest licensing deal with Eternal Image.
The Farmington Hills, Michigan, company designs and manufactures themed memorial and funeral products, having already inked deals with The Vatican Library Collection, Precious Moments, the American Kennel Club and Major League Baseball.
Now, Eternal Image has signed a deal with Paramount and CBS to distribute Star Trek-themed urns and coffins. Soon, you can be buried in a full-size re-creation of the torpedo tube (above) used to launch Spock's corpse to the Genesis Planet at the end of Wrath of Khan.
Or, if your final remains take on more of an Ashes of Eden motif, they have a gleaming Star Fleet urn for the occasion. Trek monuments and burial vaults are also coming. The entire collection doesn't arrive until later this year, and no prices are listed yet.
