Eternal Image Receives Approval from Major League Baseball(TM) For Next Four Urn Designs
Production Begins Ahead of Schedule to Meet Demand
Eternal Image, Inc. (OTC:ETIM.PK), a public company engaged in the design, manufacturing and marketing of brand image caskets and urns, today announced that Major League Baseball™ has approved the next four urn designs for the MLB™ branded funerary product line. The new designs include the Baltimore Orioles, Cleveland Indians, Chicago White Sox and New York Mets.
“We are placing these urns into production about four months earlier than planned based on the amazing reception the first wave received,” said Clint Mytych, CEO of Eternal Image. “The first order of those first eight urns sold out; the second order is more than 65% committed before it has even reached the US – and fans beyond those first eight teams are clamoring for us to produce ‘their’ teams. We selected these four teams based on the waiting lists from our website – these are the next group of most requested clubs.”
The initial urn line includes eight MLB™ teams (Yankees, Red Sox, Cardinals, Braves, Cubs, Tigers, Phillies and Dodgers). Corresponding caskets are in production for those eight teams and will be available late this year. Caskets featuring the four newest clubs will join the line late in 2007 as well. Urns and caskets featuring the balance of 18 teams will launch in late 2007 and through 2008.
Each Major League Baseball™ urn is hand-designed using die-cast aluminum with proprietary clear coat finish and sits atop a Home Plate-shaped base outlined in black. Each also features a baseball display dome at the top in which a favorite collectible baseball can be presented. MLB™ caskets are crafted from Eternal Image’s proprietary composite and decorated with various woods and metals. Like the urns, each casket is instantly recognizable for the team after which it is designed. The supple interior fabric features the team logo and colors for the pillow and fabric trim.
