The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Regents board approves college logos on coffins
UGA and Tech fans can now place college logos on coffins or even urns

Want to show your undying devotion to Georgia Tech or UGA? Now you can.

The Board of Regents Wednesday re-visited a decades-old policy banning the use of college logos on burial items like coffins or urns, allowing fans to bring their love for their alma maters into the hereafter. A Macon-based business, Collegiate Memorials, asked the Regents to loosen the rules and after a closer look at other states’ policies, members of the board relented.
