Most of us don't like thinking about our loved ones passing away. But if you've ever had the conversation with your friends and family, I bet you've found that many individuals wish to be cremated once they've passed. I've always wondered what people do with the ashes of their relatives and buddies who have deceased.
Did you know that there's an eco-friendly way to respect the dead? That's right -- Cool Green Magazine reports that the Poetree, which is a ceramic ring that features the deceased's details, can be filled with the deceased ashes. Family members can take the urn home, along with a tree sapling inside of a biodegradable pot, and plant the tree inside of its ashes.
According to the magazine, "After giving the boxwood tree some time to grow, the urn can then be planted outside, where the cork container can biodegrade, leaving only the ceramic ring as a marker and a living, growing tree to commemorate those who have passed on." If you ask me, this is a beautiful way to honor the dead and turn death into something hopeful.
