You can come back to life as a tree, after death, says Bios

In Spain, Bios is having success with its 100% biodegradable “catalyst for life” urns — which fertilize a tree or plant to grow with the remains of a loved one. Nice outcome for a beloved pet, we think — a catalyst for life instead of death. Much better than toting ashes.

Really, what will people think of next? The product is BioUrn, and it’s uilt with a special coconut-shell based capsule that meets the needs of any type of tree,  they say — and described as a perfect medium to allow for the proper growth of a tree or plant when planted with the remains of your loved one.

Just in case you last longer than you expected, delightful to know that it comes with no expiration date. Like the idea a lot — you can become a Bios Urn distributor and take the idea international. Some work would be involved clearing the soil type and the imprtation of coconut shell. More about that here.

The Bios Incube add-on lets you plant your Bios Urn while also tracking the vital signs of your tree. Then the system combines the data to understand the specific needs of your tree. When the Bios Incube detects a need for hydration it will automatically water the tree.
