Spend Eternity With the Devil Rays
I'd heard about this, but this is the first time I've seen anything official. Major League Baseball and Eternal Image are set to offer officially-licensed MLB coffins and urns. Once all 30 MLB teams are accounted for, they want to expand to the NFL, NHL and NASCAR.
Naturally, there are a couple of things I want to know. Wouldn't being buried in a coffin with a Cubs logo be a little...redundant*? Will the NASCAR urns be festooned with logos, like everything else is? Will archaeologists in the year 5406 marvel over the fact that there are thousands of Arizona Cardinal coffins in graves, all dated 2006?
I have two requests. One, go ahead and bury me in a Yankees coffin. I've made enough "over my dead body" jokes that karma probably owes me a wallop. But first, see if they offer defunct NHL teams. And see if they offer little speakers. Because spending eternity listening to "Brass Bonzanza" in a Whalers coffin pretty much proves the existence of heaven.
(* I'm sorry, David, it really doesn't work unless it's the Cubbies. I tried other teams, but it just wasn't as funny)
