Biodegradable burial urns

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

My son was home this past week and told me about biodegradable burial urns. The cremated ashes of the deceased are buried in a special urn which then grows in to a tree. Neither he nor I are big fans of the traditional funeral and we both think cemeteries are a waste of prime real estate.

I jokingly asked him if the health of the tree was dependent on what kind of person the deceased was.

I actually like this idea and will do more research on it.

Why not just dig a hole, throw the ashes in, and plant a sapling over the ashes? Silly capitalism. Always overthinking things to make a buck.

Wow can't even dig the hole without getting censored.

You can dig a hole but not a hole.

Silly.

I told my wife, when I die just throw me in the trash. She just smiled and said "ok"

When you are dead it doesn't matter

True but why not leave behind something useful?

Halloween decorations?

Not sure if one thing is better than another.
Burying dead bodies takes a surprising toll on the environment

What kind of tree? A crabapple?

I agree with this. Depending on how much they love me will depend on what kind of after death experience they give me lol.

Dude. When I dead, I really don't care. My wife wants her ashes to be saved on the mantle .. I said no problem, I will just have to die before you.

So does burying live bodies.

Not a good answer to save the environment

I could never figure out the "save the ashes" thing. I know a gal who has her mothers ashes in a urn-----------buried in the back of a closet. (no its not my wife) The ashes should be buried or spread---one or the other. Somewhere down the road if you save them --someone will toss them anyway----guaranteed.

Enough of this nonsense!

We all know Atlanta will build a shrine/temple in the foyer of the Ivory Tower for Dave's ashes.

Ok that works for the rest of us, but what about you?
