Prove you're a 'die' hard Red Sox fan


(NECN: Boston, Mass.) - Red Sox fans can now show their loyalty for all eternity with a team-themed casket. A Massachusetts funeral home recently took delivery of the first Red Sox casket, which features the team logo on the exterior as well as the inside.

Bob Biggins, co-director of Magoun-Biggins Funeral Home in Rockland, tells The Boston Globe families in mourning often want their loved ones buried with favorite items, which in the past has included Red Sox paraphernalia.

Biggins says the family that chose the $3,000 Red Sox casket for their father, serial number 0001, did not hesitate when they saw it.

Sox urns are also available for about $800.
