    Wanna be a tree when you die?

    This Awesome Urn Will Turn You into a Tree After You Die

    -"After you die, do you want your body to feed worms or to feed squirrels?" asks the team behind the Bios Urn — a product by Spanish design studio estudimoline — that enables you, your loved ones, or your pets to be buried in a life-assuring kind of way by transforming their ashes into a tree.

    "Bios Urn changes the way people see death, converting the 'end of life' into a transformation and a return to life through nature. [It is] a smart, sustainable, and ecologically friendly way to approach what's, probably, one of the most important moments in human life."

    The Urn is 100% biodegradable, made of coconut shell, compacted peat, and cellulose. It has two parts — a top capsule for the seed, and a bottom part for the ashes. This structure allows the seed to germinate separated from the ashes and their high acidity. Once the urn starts to biodegrade, the seed roots are already strong enough to contact them and the entire set becomes part of the sub-soil...

    I am strongly opposed to what our culture insists upon to preserve the deceased. The procedures used in embalming and preparing a body for viewing are a desecration of the body in my opinion.

    I mean if we buried people without a casket this might be a good idea.

    I don't want to be decomposed because many years after I'm dead I want them to have to exhume my body and open my casket for some reason and everybody talk about how well I'm preserved.
