Biodegradable Urn | Spirit Tree for Yourself or Pets

I started investigating these biodegradable urns when I lost my cat of 19 years. She became mine at 3 weeks old when she lost her mother and I wanted something special for her. When I ran across these Spirit Trees, I thought they would be perfect and may even be something I think about for myself.

I like the fact that you can choose the type of tree you plant. I plan to pick something whimsical for Shyra (my cat) and can see picking a strong and sturdy tree for my pup, when the time comes.

Above, quoted from the website

"Bios is a funeral urn made of biodegradable materials like coconut shell, compact peat and cellulose. Inside the urn, there is a tree seed which can be replaced by any other kind of seed, shoot or plant suitable for the chosen place. When the urn is planted, the seed germinates and starts to grow.
Bios Urn transforms the burial ritual in a regeneration and return to life through nature. As a result, cemeteries become forests.

Snowflake, the famous albino gorilla, was buried on April 23rd 2004 in a Bios urn which is now transforming itself into an African tree called “Calodendrum Capense” in the Barcelona Zoo."

I also like this spirit tree:

Quoted from the website:

"The Spíritree is a biodegradable cinerary urn that transforms into a living memorial in the form of a tree. The two-piece container is composed of an organic bottom shell and a chemically inert, weathering ceramic cover. The bottom piece holds the cremated remains within its internal concavity, while the top part protects them from dispersion."

If you are on a budget, you can find Biodegradable Urns for your pets and plant your own tree.
