Why live out a lifestyle and than get buried like everyone else? Don't worry, you geeks won't have to, you can go out in style with the **[Star Trek Coffin](http://www.geeksaresexy.net/2008/02/15/when-you-die-go-out-geek-style)**. It was inspired by the Star Trek movie, The Wrath of Kahn where Spock puts his life on the line to save the [USS Enterprise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-trek-inspired-yacht) from deadly galactic villains and dies, however he gets launched out of the ship via torpedo tube in this [stylish coffin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-alchemist-by-jdo). If you really want to be remembered for your geekdom then I guess this is the perfect way to go. I doubt the torpedo tube launching is an option though, but you never know. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Geek-themed Funerals:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create customized funeral options for geeks that incorporate their favorite fandoms and geek culture. - **Niche Coffin Designs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate and design unique coffin designs that cater to specific interests and passions of individuals. - **Personalized Memorials:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offer personalized memorial services that celebrate the uniqueness and individuality of each person's life. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Funeral Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Bring creativity and personalization to the funeral industry to cater to diverse customer preferences. - **Coffin Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experiment with unconventional coffin designs and materials to offer customers more choices and personalization options. - **Event Planning and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Extend event planning and design services to include personalized and themed funeral/memorial services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Humorous Macabre Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffin-office-chair.md) - [Deep Sea Funerals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-sea-funeral.md) - [Life-Size Casket Coolers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casket-cooler.md) - [Coffin-Shaped Engagement Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffin-shaped-engagement-rings.md) - [Coffin-Shaped Beverage Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-casket-cooler.md) - [Post-Mortem Pet Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cirius-beam-projector.md) - [3D-Printed Ecological Funeral Reefs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resting-reefs.md) - [Cubic Sci-Fi Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-trek-borg-cube-advent-calendar.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Virtual Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roddenberry-archive.md)
