The idea of a casket that looks like a photon torpedo casing just flashed through my mind.

 

^^^Will the price of the funeral include a trip to the Genesis planet and Mt.Seleya?

 

This is all well and good, but do you get a multi-picture directing deal with your next life?

 

Now that's a forward thinking business!
I've told the family for years I'd like to be laid out in a ST II style red jacket! Delta shield logo on the casket might be nice too.

 

The ABSOLUTE LAST Star Trek collectible you will EVER own.

 

Wow. If they make a Torpedo casket I'm soooo going to buy one!

 

For the Star Trek fan who HAD everything! :thumbsup:

 

Ok. The torpedo casing casket almost seems like a given, but what kind of Urn can we expect?

 

Lol, that's great!!! The photon tube surfaced in my mind, too. Don't think I'd buy one (am sure of it, in fact, but great idea.

 

Surely the casket would own you?(!)

 

Only in Soviet Russia.

 

i interviewed the CEO last week about this and have more details

Odo's bucket?

 

Wow, now I know what I want to be buried in!

 

Please, nobody let me be buried in a Precious Moments casket.

 

For some reason, I'm picturing my remains in a torpedo, being lowered into a tube, and then launched out into the sky. Then after crashing into a hill, my corpse in a giant Tylenol capsule will settle atop a pile of other corpses in Tylenol capsules. My friends and family will shrug and say, "It's what he would have wanted."

I hate them already.

 

I wonder if you'll be able to request a registry number for the torpedo.
