A spanish designer Martin Azua has designed an Awesome Urn which Will Turn You into a Tree After You Die
His urn is made from coconut shell, compacted peat and cellulose and inside it contains the seed of a tree.
Once your remains have been placed into the urn, it can be planted and then the seed germinates and begins to grow. You even get the choice to pick the type of plant you would like to become, depending on the kind of planting space you prefer.
I would love to have this done. I still dont know what kind of tree, but a big beautiful one. Society will look at me and say, “So beautiful” and I’d be like, “Thanks, you should have seen me when I was alive”
“Thanks, you should have seen me when I was alive” LOL.
there’s a graveyard near us where instead of having tombstones people have a tree planted over their grave to mark where they are. The coffin and everything in them (like the clothes of the deceased) have to be biodegradable so it’s all natural. The graveyard is basically just woods (unsurprisingly) and it’s really amazing to think that each tree represents a person and probably contains some of them or w/e.
We planted my nana there :)
EDIT: I meant buried but planted is too funny to erase and pretend never happened.
sorry nana. hope you liked being planted.
I KNEW TREES WERE CREEPY.
