How You Can Recycle Your Body After Death: A Biodegradable Urn That Can Turn Your Cremains Into A Tree Of Your Choice

I have had discussions with my family concerning my wishes after my death. I definitely want to be cremated. I never liked the idea of being in the cold wet ground.

I recently learned of a revolutionary product that enables a person to become a tree after death! I just love this idea. The more trees we plant, the cleaner the air will become.

I am a big believer in recycling anything possible, so why not recycle our bodies??

1. The urn comes assembled and ready to be taken to the place chosen for the regeneration.

2. Remove the seal and the outer packaging of the urn.

3. Put the ashes in the urn’s lower part. Close it with the top part and put the soil with the seed in it.

4. Bury the urn in fertile soil with its top level with the soil surface and water it.

5. In a few days the seed will germinate and your tree will begin to grow.

6. The tree will continue to grow year after year.

This is how this concept works: Inside the biodegradable urn is a tree seed. You may choose what kind of tree you would like to be at the time of purchase. You may become a Pine Tree, an Oak Tree or a Maple Tree.

The urn is sealed until time for it to be used. It can be stored for years at room temperatures.

Before the urn is buried into the ground, The enclosed components are mixed with some of the soil from where you want your tree to grow. Your cremains are then added.

I believe this would be the job of the crematorium.

I have already purchased a cremation service. I do not want my family to have to plan and pay for my cremation. The cost of this biodegradable urn is around $150.00.

If your family wants to keep some of your ashes for themselves, they can do that, too. The urn has a recommended ash level and should not be overfilled.

I like the idea of living on after my death as a stately Oak Tree!

The more I think of this recycling idea, the more I like it.

Some of my husband's ashes are buried in our local Memorial Garden. We have received permission from that garden to allow my urn to be buried close to him.

This the first time they say they have ever been requested to plant a recycled human tree in their garden, They like the idea, and I am very happy to know I will be able to contribute to the beauty of this garden by becoming an Oak tree.

Yes, I would like to live forever as a majestic Oak Tree for many reasons:

I could live on for many years.

I could give shelter to those people who would sit underneath my boughs for shade and reflection.

I like to think of little squirrels feasting on my acorns and playing all over my sturdy limbs.

I would give my husband shade standing over him for eternity.

Oak trees are under the threat of extinction. Large areas of Oaks have been destroyed to make way for livestock grazing and for other crops; mainly coffee plantations in Central America.

Lumber made from Oak is widely used in quality furniture. Whenever I shop for antiques, I look for pieces made of solid Oak. Those pieces will last forever.

My former house which was built in 1900 still has the original Oak flooring.

The leaves and acorns of the Oak are poisonous to cattle, horses, sheep and goats when eaten in a large amount. This does not seem to be true of the domestic pig, though. When I was growing up on a farm, our hogs would love to eat the acorns without any problems!

We all know how much our little squirrels enjoy acorns, and they don't seem to suffer any consequence.

The Oak is a common symbol of strength, and it has been chosen as the National Tree of many countries, including the United States!
