But that has changed now with inventions like the Bios Urn from Spanish designer Martín Azúa.
The Bios Urn is made of coconut shell, cellulose and compact peat — all of which are biodegradable materials.
Human remains are placed inside the urn with a seed. It is then planted on the ground where the seed will germinate along with the remains, eventually growing into a tree.
Ash is mostly phosphates and calcium, which are nutrients that tree uses. When the tree absorbs these, your remains become part of the tree.
It is an awesome and poetic form of regeneration.
The beautiful part is that you can get to decide which tree you want to become.
The eco-friendliness is immeasurable.
Trees provide oxygen, serve as food to so many animals including the fruits we take.
Now after we die, we can always give back something to Earth.
