Death and Trees

What will become of us after we are gone from this life?  Some of us have family plots in cemeteries, some of us wish to be placed on a mountain top all alone, some still wish to be placed eternally above ground in a mausoleum.  But what if you could become another living thing?  To live for many years and bring enjoyment to future generations?

Well, You can!  Gerard Moline has designed the bios urn.  This is how it works:  After cremation, your ashes are placed in a biodegradable urn made of coconut shell, compact peat, and cellulose.  There is a seed inside which can be of your choosing; once the bios urn is planted, the seed begins to germinate and grow.

What was once your body, is now a young tree!  Just imagine..."cemeteries become forests..."
