FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eternal Image, Inc. (Other OTC:ETIM.PK - News), a public company engaged in the design, manufacturing and marketing of licensed image caskets and urns, today announced that its soon-to-be-launched line of American Kennel Club (AKC) pet urns will be introduced to the public through the AKC Online Store and the Cherrybrook Catalogue. The AKC is the leading authority and registrant of purebred dogs. Cherrybrook is a national supplier of pet care products to top breeders, handlers and purebred dog owners throughout the world.
"Eternal Image's American Kennel Club urns are a respectful, meaningful way to honor and remember pets," said Claudia Loomis, Vice President, Cherrybrook. "We are especially pleased to be introducing this new memorial product to our customers. Beginning December 15, customers can pre-order American Kennel Club urns, personalized to remember their beloved animals, through both our website and catalogue."
Pre-ordered urns will be delivered beginning in the second quarter of 2007.
Until very recently, pet owners would often purchase an urn made for human remains, usually a generic, oversized product that did not reflect the life of the very pet they were honoring.
"Americans spent nearly $40 billion on pets in 2005, twice what it was a decade ago," said Clint Mytych, president of Eternal Image. "This partnership will provide us with access to millions of Cherrybrook's customers, and we anticipate that the product will resonate with pet lovers - people who truly bond with their animals for the length of their lives."
The urns feature the AKC logo embossed on metal casing. The lid of the urn features a photo of the animal and the side will include a gold nameplate. The top half of the urn is finished in burnished copper and gold while the base is constructed of highly polished wood.
The AKC Online Store's web address is www.akcstore.org, while Cherrybrook can be found at www.cherrybrook.com or by calling 800-524-0820.

According to Nick Popravsky, vice president of sales and marketing for Eternal Image, inquiries from distributors and funeral homes have been steady since the company introduced its new line of products at the National Funeral Directors Association Expo in Philadelphia in October and then began a significant direct marketing campaign to the industry.
"While we do not disclose each and every new distributor we enter into agreements with, we are honored that these have allowed us to make known our business partnership. We are looking forward to a very successful future with all three," Popravsky commented.
The first Vatican Library Collection urns, featuring a design unique to EI, are now available for wholesale purchase. EI expects to roll out at least three additional product lines during 2007 in addition to the first Vatican Library Collection caskets.

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eternal Image, Inc. (OTC:ETIM.PK - News), a public company engaged in the design, manufacturing and marketing of licensed image caskets and urns, today announced that it has retained Detroit-based CreativeNGen to upgrade the Eternal Image website.
"As do many start-ups, we launched our website with a bare-bones format that helped us along in our early days," said Clint Mytych, president of Eternal Image. "As our story has become more well-known, we have experienced tremendous growth in visitors to our site. This redesigned site will meet the needs of this growing audience; it will be much more sophisticated in terms of the information available and the ability to order products online."
The dynamic website will feature individual showrooms for each line of licensed products. There will be a special section for Funeral Industry Professionals that will allow for ordering and shipment tracking; a beefed-up Investor Relations section and a Media Relations area. The site will also facilitate the online ordering of American Kennel Club urns for pets.
The company expects the new site to launch before the New Year. Demand for products and information has continued to rise since the company's successful launch at the National Funeral Director's Association Expo. That appearance last month resulted in tremendous media coverage that has, in conjunction with the company's marketing program, translated into both pre-orders and the creation of waiting lists from industry distributors and consumers. The first product, L'Italiano Classico from The Vatican Library Collection (TM) line, became available this month. Additional products from other lines will be introduced beginning in the first quarter of 2007.

FARMINGTON HILLS, MI--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 25, 2006 -- Eternal Image, Inc. (Other OTC:ETIM.PK - News), a public company engaged in the design, manufacturing and marketing of customized designer caskets and urns, today announced that it has launched the next phase of its fourth quarter sales and marketing efforts. A direct mail campaign entitled "You'd Think Someone Would Think of Something New" will reach more than 18,000 funeral homes in the United States during the next four weeks
The campaign follows Eternal Image's successful debut at the 2006 National Funeral Directors Association Expo in Philadelphia last week which culminated in tremendous media attention.
"The phone calls from distributors and funeral homes interested in representing the products have been relentless since the Expo," said Clint Mytych, president of Eternal Image. "There is no doubt in our minds that these products have struck a nerve in the industry and in the general public. The marketing campaign is timed to capitalize on this reaction."
The 4Q sales and marketing effort, together with expanded manufacturing capabilities, is directly attributable to the Company's equity financing that increased the number of shares outstanding. (To view the specific share and float figures, visit www.pinksheets.com.)
"Now that the Company is established in the market place, future financing shall be far less dilutive, providing needed capital for further growth," said Peter McGoldrick, president of Integrity IR, which represents Eternal Image.
As discussed in a news release distributed by Eternal Image on Monday (October 23), the company has moved forward production time on its American Kennel Club pet urns due to overwhelming distributor enthusiasm.
Mytych commented, "We are focused on building the business and its market share. As well, we are committed to increasing shareholder value in the near future by operating a profitable business. We believe that our strategy will be successful for all."

FARMINGTON HILLS, MI--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 23, 2006 -- Eternal Image, Inc. (Other OTC:ETIM.PK - News), a public company engaged in the design, manufacturing and marketing of customized designer caskets and urns, today announced that it has ordered the final pre-production prototypes of, and accelerated production plans for, the first-ever licensed American Kennel Club cremation urns due to overwhelming distributor enthusiasm.
"When we announced in July that we will be producing the first official American Kennel Club cremation products in history, requests from both the public and pet retailers began pouring in," said Clint Mytych, CEO of Eternal Image. "We urged our manufacturing team to accelerate prototyping so that we can bring these urns to market sooner than originally planned."
Addressing specific investor inquiries, Mytych went on to say, "Investors can appreciate this news because it will soon add additional revenue to the Company's top-line earnings. The American Kennel Club urn, due to its enormous mass retail distribution potential, will be one of the cornerstones of our profitability," Mytych stated. "Eternal Image will sell these urns through Internet retailers in addition to pet retail stores and pet crematoriums nationwide."
This will be Eternal Image's first non-human product, and also marks the first time that the 120-year-old authority on canine breeds will have cremation urns on the market. Eternal Image is preparing its website www.eternalimage.net to facilitate customer orders for these urns, and will begin accepting pre-orders by late November 2006 -- four months sooner than previously anticipated.

FARMINGTON HILLS, MI--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 27, 2006 -- (Other OTC:ETIM.PK - News) Eternal Image, Inc., a public company engaged in the design, manufacturing, and marketing of customized designer caskets and urns, today announced it has signed an exclusive licensing agreement for the marketing of its products as a part of The Vatican Library Collection.
Under the terms of the licensing agreement with Second Renaissance, LLC and 1451 International, holders of the primary license, Eternal Image is now authorized to exclusively reproduce the time-honored traditional images and text of the Vatican Library on its custom caskets and urns. The company believes this is a significant milestone for Eternal Image as more than 50% of the worldwide Christian population, or approximately one billion people, are Roman Catholic and look to the Vatican for spiritual guidance under the leadership of His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI.
Eternal Image will introduce the Vatican Library Collection products to Catholics worldwide through publications targeted to the Catholic audience and for dissemination to the local dioceses and archdioceses.
"Use of the trade name and logo of 'The Vatican Library Collection' in order to represent to the public that the new line of Eternal Image funeral products to be sold under its license are officially sanctioned by the Vatican Library is an opportunity and a responsibility that we take very seriously. We are committed to producing these products with the utmost reverence for the symbols, images, and text of the Catholic Church," said Clint Mytych, CEO of Eternal Image.
Eternal Image remains committed to growing its line of licensed-brand funeral products. For more information, visit http://www.eternalimage.net.

NOVI, MI--(MARKET WIRE)--Jul 3, 2006 -- The pet industry is booming, with more than 360 million pets in homes across the United States alone.* When it comes time to say goodbye to an animal for the last time, some owners are choosing cremation and keeping the ashes as they might those of a human loved one.
Yet, until very recently, there were only two options. Pet owners could buy a non-licensed, generic pet urn or, just as often, an urn made for human remains. Whichever choice they made, the urn did not reflect the life of the very pet they were honoring.
Now, with Americans poised to spend nearly $40 billion on pets in 2006, Eternal Image, Inc. (Other OTC:ETIM.PK - News), has announced that it will debut a new line of cremation urns specifically for pets -- and licensed by the prestigious American Kennel Club (AKC).
Under the terms of the licensing agreement, Eternal Image is authorized to create customized urns featuring the AKC logo embossed on the metal casing. The lid of the urn will feature a photo of the animal and the front will include a gold nameplate. The top half of the urn is finished in burnished copper and gold metallic while the base is constructed of highly polished wood. The products are in the development phase and delivery is planned for 2007
Spending by owners on pets and pet supplies has doubled in the last decade," said Clint Mytych, CEO of Eternal Image. "The increase shows how important these human-to-animal relationships are. It is our belief that the owners who want their pets to have a happy, healthy and comfortable life are seeking ways to remember them when they are gone. Our urns are a loving tribute to these pets."
Eternal Image remains committed to growing its line of licensed-brand funeral products. For more information, visit http://www.eternalimage.net.

According to EI President Clint Mytych, Popravsky was formally named Vice President, Sales and Marketing and Shatter assumed the title of Vice President, Operations.

Novi, MI -(PRIMEZONE)- May 12, 2006- (OTC:ETIM.PK) Eternal Image, Inc, a public company engaged in the design, manufacturing, and marketing of customized designer caskets and urns, today announced the success of strategic meetings in reference to the licensing agreements the company has with its unique products.
In early April, Eternal Image announced a licensing agreement with Precious Moments, one of the most recognized licensing properties in the United States . Dominating the $21B gift and collectibles market, Precious Moments has been the top selling brand in the category for the past 15 years. Eternal Image is pleased to have completed the concept, art, and design of the Precious Moments caskets and urns, and is currently working diligently to bring products reflecting the enduring and inspirational images of this American favorite to production.
Moving forward, the company expects to extend agreements with Major League Baseball, the American Kennel Club, and the Vatican in the near future. According to the Licensing Industry Merchandisers' Association, sports licensing is now over a $13B annual industry, and one of the fastest growing segments in the licensing business. Additionally, the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association cites a $36B market for pet expenditures in the United States alone, with over 43 million households owning as least one dog. Further, the exclusive agreement with the Vatican affords Eternal Image an opportunity to reach a global audience of over 1 billion Catholics.
The latest data available from the Cremation Association of North America (CANA) projects that as the American population grows, natural deaths will increase nearly 50% within the next twenty years. This will create over $100 billion in aggregate sales for the funeral products industry, in which Eternal Image will be well positioned. Management believes the licensing relationships established today will build the foundation for Eternal Image to be a mature and respected company in an annual market providing consistent and reliable growth.
