Themed exits not just for bikers anymore

If the owners of Eagle Custom Caskets thought they could corner the market on encasing corpses in kitsch, they were dead wrong:

"Starting next season, fans of the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers will be able to have their ashes put in an urn or head six feet under in a casket emblazoned with their team colors and insignia.

"MLB has entered a licensing agreement with Eternal Image, which hopes to eventually make urns and caskets for all 30 teams. The company also hopes to have similar agreements with NASCAR, the NHL and the NFL, but baseball was the first to sign on."

Eternal Image also has licensing agreements with The Vatican, The American Kennel Club, and Precious Moments.
