The Tree Urn Mission: A Guide to Seeing Life Differently
Preparing one’s funeral is an important duty, a lucid and committed responsibility.
It is a gesture filled with respect and love for those who remain: offering them a ceremony that reflects our wishes and our life, a genuine tribute, rather than leaving them an additional emotional burden they are often not psychologically prepared to face.
It is also an act of respect toward ourselves and toward the life we have lived as best we could. This preparation frees us, lightens us, and allows us to welcome the rest of our existence as a true gift, savored each day without cluttering it with futile concerns.
Thus, from a certain moment in life, planning one’s departure becomes a responsible step and an essential stage in the fulfillment of a fully awakened being.
The 4 Pillars of the Tree Urn Approach
• Grief & Psychology — offering a soothing and structuring ritual.
• Legacy & Transmission — leaving a trace that guides rather than burdens.
• Nature & Environment — returning to the earth without material footprint.
• Living Fully — embracing the end to savor life more deeply.
How Can Tree-Urn Help You Approach Death Differently?
1 — During Our Lifetime
Visualizing the tree within the urn radically transforms our perception of death and invites us to a profound reflection on our own life.
It helps us free ourselves from the fear of death, approach it serenely, and prepare our final wishes like a final bouquet: a moment filled with meaning, beauty, and calm.
Becoming aware of death means fully enjoying our time of life — savoring each moment, fulfilling our wishes, and reaching the end of our journey with a sense of accomplishment and inner peace.
It also means passing on to those who will remain (children, spouse, etc.) a clear framework, a simple ritual, a direction to follow that will lighten their burden instead of leaving them the weight of decisions in a moment of deep distress.
We thereby offer them a gentle path, thoughtfully prepared in advance, that will support them rather than overwhelm them.
2 — When Faced with Death
Honoring life without leaving a tombstone or a grave to maintain: simply a living tree, returned to nature, continuing its cycle without any additional material or emotional burden.
Freeing oneself from the ritual, psychological, and financial weight often associated with cemeteries and ceremonies that do not always resonate with our inner truth.
Offering the deceased a tribute that celebrates life as much as the planet.
Returning to the earth without burdening it with a monument.
For imagining nine billion individuals represented by nine billion funeral monuments would amount to leaving our children a planet turned into a cemetery.
Tree Urn offers a simple, natural, and deeply symbolic ritual: a sequence of meaningful steps that soothe, support the grieving process, and help one emerge from this experience grown, open, and carried by a renewed momentum toward life.
A Natural, Ecological and Patented Approach
Tree Urn is built upon a unique biodegradable cork design, created to hold a living young tree — never seeds — in order to ensure real, harmonious growth.
The urn naturally decomposes over several years, allowing the tree to continue its cycle autonomously, without creating a place of maintenance or material attachment.
A simple, authentic return to the earth, profoundly respectful of the planet.
The Tree Urn Philosophy
The tree lives on its own.
It is not a funeral monument but a symbol of continuation.
We do not seek to freeze a place of worship, but to free attachment.
Because Tree Urn falls under the legal category of natural scattering, it does not create:
- any funeral concession,
- any legally recognised grave or burial site,
- any funeral rights attached to the land,
- any right to exhumation, transfer or future intervention.
The tree that grows from Tree Urn may naturally become a personal place of remembrance — a living space where family and friends may gather — but it remains free, natural, and without the legal constraints of a traditional grave.
