6-10 FB Tree Urn

 For all you tree huggers out there, now you can show your eternal green commitment by becoming one -- a tree that is.  Hi, I'm David Sparks, and while I may sound crazy, the fact is a Spanish designer has created a new biodegradable urn that lets you literally and figuratively become one with nature.  I'll have more in a minute.

Biodegradable Urn: New Life Through Death

Spanish designer Martin Azua has come up with the idea of a mortuary urn containing the seed of a tree. Bios Urn is made from biodegradable materials including coconut shell, compacted peat and cellulose. Once the ashes have been placed and the urn planted, the seed inside starts to germinate and will eventually grow into a tree. You can choose different types of tree or plant seeds depending on their suitability for the area you wish to plant it.
