Bring Fandom to the Afterlife with Cubs, Sox Caskets

Just in time for opening day, a casket company is offering MLB-themed caskets for the diehard fan's eternal dirt nap.

Is there a diehard Cubs or Sox fan in your life? A casket company is selling sports-themed caskets including Chicago’s two favorite ball clubs.

Lay out your loved one in a Cubs or Sox casket. The casket comes with a tailored velvet interior and a half-couch design that can be popped open for convenient viewing. There’s even a matching pillow and throw with the team’s official logo.

The exterior is decorated with traditional corners and full handle bars. The Cubs and Sox caskets sell for $2,165 and includes free delivery to any funeral home within the United States.

Memorials.com is currently carrying caskets featuring all the Major League Baseball teams that can memorialize the sports fan “in a way never before possible.”

“Those of us who know someone with a passion for sports also know how important the sport of their interest is to them. Many have that one family member who never misses a single game of their team, and who always make sure to cheer them on regardless if they are in the actual audience, or simply watching from their home. A beautiful sports casket can help serve as a gentle reminder of the zest for living that these individuals possessed, and can even create beautiful final remembrance of a true sports fan,” the company’s website says.

To hell with it, let’s buy two.
