- socivitus, on 06/09/2009, -0/+61Star Trek Casket : $20,000
Having your body + Star Trek casket launched into space: $5,000,000
Knowing your body may be used by aliens to create a clone army that takes over Earth: $Priceless - inactive, on 06/09/2009, -2/+21They have a Batman one as well. They put The Joker in there.
- tgjerusalem, on 06/09/2009, -1/+16Wtf, why the hate?
It's like the Doctor Who coffin (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2009/06/0 ... Not every family wants a somber funeral. Some want a wake to party and remember the people and things the deceased person loved. - AndrewDB, on 06/10/2009, -1/+16I'm sad they didn't make the casket look like a photon torpedo. :(

- cmw72, on 06/10/2009, -0/+14McCoy: "He's not really dead. As long as we remember him."
Kirk: "It's a far, far better thing I do than I have ever done before. A far better resting place that I go to than I have ever known."
Carol: "Is that a poem?"
Kirk: "No. Something Spock was trying to tell me. On my birthday."
McCoy: "You okay, Jim? How do you feel?"
Kirk: "Young. I feel young." - Kingpatt, on 06/09/2009, -0/+11Beam me up, Scotty
- MaxReboCLZ, on 06/10/2009, -1/+10I cant wait to die now.
- smpaisnutrients, on 06/10/2009, -0/+9buried for the author's uncalled for hatred of geeks. What the hell kinda thing is that to say, the funeral is for everyone else? yeah sorta, but they're supposed to remember the deceased as they lived. and if the deceased lived as a huge Trekkie then by all means put them in a torpedo case and bury them. I thought everyone knew this.
My uncle was a biker, and guess what he wore when we buried him? BIKER GEAR. In an orange and black harley davidson casket. - isny, on 06/10/2009, -0/+8Just make sure they aim me to the genesis planet.
- NBCLocal, on 06/24/2009, -0/+8I know what I'll be buying for Father's Day
- lordmike, on 06/10/2009, -0/+7George: Boy, that was awkward!
Jerry: I don't mind the cemetery.
George: What were you saying to the Rosses over there, anyway?
Jerry: Oh, I don't know. I told them her death takes place in the shadow of new life. She's not really dead if we find a way to remember her.
George: What is that?
Jerry: Star Trek II.
George: (identifying it) Wrath of Khan!
Jerry: Right. Kramer and I saw it last night. Spock dies, they wrap him up in a towel, and they shoot him out the bowel of the ship in that big sunglasses case.
George: That was a hell of a thing when Spock died...
Jerry: Yeah...
[For a brief moment, the two become overwhelmed with emotion.] - ethanator1088, on 06/10/2009, -0/+6This is 10 different kinds of awesome!
- DrRetro, on 06/10/2009, -0/+6And make sure someone is dressed as Scotty to play the bagpipes.
- bossm4n, on 06/10/2009, -0/+6They can use my titanium Star Trek spork to dig my grave.
- r2builder, on 06/10/2009, -0/+5I want to be buried on the moon.
- Auraness, on 06/10/2009, -0/+4So in your logic, if -I- really liked Star Trek, I can put a deceased relative in one of those?
- lordmike, on 06/10/2009, -0/+4Of this casket, I can only say this... of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, this was the most -
- human.... - Syric, on 06/10/2009, -0/+4Right, because if there's anything a funeral is NOT supposed to be, it's a testament to the life, passions, and last wishes of the deceased.

Buried for thinking a Star Trek coffin is a bad idea. - jeremymccurdy, on 06/10/2009, -2/+6Without the Starfleet insignias on them, both the casket and urn would be dapper as *****.
- SPNKrPunk, on 06/10/2009, -1/+4+1 GeekCred
-5 Sex Appeal - inactive, on 06/10/2009, -0/+3And make sure to get your reincarnated ass off there before pon farr.
- JasonCox, on 06/10/2009, -0/+3Put a torpedo launcher on the Space Shuttle and you have a sale.
- jboitnott, on 06/09/2009, -1/+4*crowd groans*
Bill Maher, John Stewart or in this case Jenocide312: "What?? It's too early?" - spookyttws, on 06/10/2009, -4/+6If the urn wasn't Star Trek related, it would be really cool. I mean it's certainly interesting looking.
- palehorse864, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2You're really taking this Fargo fan obsession too far.
- LBWayward, on 06/10/2009, -2/+4This is a nice commentary on how old Trekies are getting. It used to be lunch boxes, then baby cloths for their kids, now this. It does seem a bit soon though.
- Hardataq, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2The author of the article seemed grumpy.
- okcoolok1234, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2This Guy has two of them ready to go.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24FhTl_f9Vg - inactive, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2So when I get old I'll have a Halo theme coffin to look forward to.
- ripple123, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2live long an- nevermind.
- inactive, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2That's right! Your death and subsequent bereavement ceremony should be a reflection of how you lived your life.
- Recoil, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2Does it come with a bagpipe?
- inactive, on 06/10/2009, -0/+1@SPNKrPunk
I think being dead would have already lowered your sex appeal attribute to the smallest possible amount. - RocketGib, on 06/10/2009, -0/+1RIP Spock?
- Culyt, on 06/10/2009, -0/+1That Urn is awesome, would be good for general use without the startrek logo.
I actually think something similar would make a good head stone, theres no need for all of them to be made from stone/marble. Just need something that ages fairly well and doesn't look horrible with dust and pollution. - ePlurbisPablum, on 06/10/2009, -0/+1To boldly go where everyone else has gone before?
- 13att13, on 06/10/2009, -0/+1I have seen top of the mountain. And it is good.
- inactive, on 06/10/2009, -2/+3I'll take that urn, just scrape the logo off it first
- sealink, on 06/11/2009, -0/+1I don't see the problem with it. It's a handsome casket.
Wonder if Shatner'll order one. - ePlurbisPablum, on 06/10/2009, -0/+1It may be in your will, but you might want to check the city ordinances. I seriously doubt you'll find a place that will allow it.
I guess you could leave your family with a costly legal battle instead, but that doesn't seem like a good idea either.
I respect the idea though. - EliteEagle, on 06/11/2009, -0/+1Did anyone else read the word "urn" as "um" at first?
- ViscidGobs, on 06/10/2009, -0/+1I got a couple of beavers that could save your family a bundle.
- insanebrain, on 06/10/2009, -0/+1Need any help ?
- rodbotic, on 06/18/2009, -0/+1do you really need sex appeal when your dead?
- psyonic1, on 10/29/2009, -0/+0@ rodbotic: Most necrophiliacs would disagree.
- Andrewticus, on 06/10/2009, -1/+1Is it just me, or is an ornate and costly burial one of the worst things you can possibly do to your family? I mean, you can't work any longer (because you're dead), so unless you're one of the very few Americans with life insurance, the cost of this anachronistic ritual will be absorbed by your loved ones. So not only do they have to go through the heartbreak of parting ways with you, but they have to go through the costly and time consuming work of preparing your body, then putting it in an expensive casket and putting it in an expensive plot in the ground.
I say we start a new burial ritual. Family members throw your body into a wood chipper, they mulch you up, and turn your ass into top soil. That's my last wish.
Seriously, it's in my will. - mrpunman, on 06/10/2009, -9/+5Bury me
