A Natural, Warm and Comforting Biodegradable urn
The best way to Grow a Living Memorial
The result of extensive research and testing, our unique planting system using a biodegradable cork urn is now one of the most advanced solutions to honor the cycle of life.
The patented Tree Urn system combines natural engineering with simple, intuitive use. Simply place the ashes into the urn, then insert the sliding cork piece – called Separation – which seals and protects the ashes while gradually regulating the roots’ access.
Next, plant a young tree inside the urn and bury the entire unit. From the beginning of the second year, the roots will naturally grow through the cork walls, feeding on the ashes and, later, on the natural decomposition of the cork, which will enrich the soil.
Thus will grow a living memorial tree, enduring and vibrant, a symbol of a deep and peaceful connection with nature — keeping the memory of your loved one alive.
With Tree Urn, Embracing Life’s Cycle
Step 1
Choose the size of the urn & Add a message
If you wish, add your own message, which we will print around it.
You can also use a marker to handwrite your chosen message on the cork walls of the urn.
Once you receive your urn, you can either hand it over to the crematorium, which will place the ashes inside, or, if you already have them, you can place them directly into the urn and cover them with a piece called a separation. This will seal and protect the ashes while regulating root access.

Step 2
Choose the sapling or plant
Visit your favorite nursery to choose the young tree or plant of your choice.
Two important criteria must be met:
Compatibility with the climate and vegetation of the place where you will bury the urn, and the symbolism that best represents the personality of the deceased.
For example, if you live in a warm and sunny region, a bougainvillea will be perfect for a medium or large urn and will bloom for six months of the year.
Refer to our tree symbolism.
Step 3
Plant the tree in the urn and hold a warm ceremony to say goodbye.
This symbolic moment can become a meaningful step in the grieving process. Planting the tree in the urn, surrounded by loved ones, offers an opportunity to create an intimate, gentle, and deeply meaningful ceremony. Some may choose a simple ritual, while others may prefer the guidance of a funeral planner to help design a unique and personalized tribute.
The ceremony can reflect the spirit of the departed — filled with light, shared memories, music, or silence… A way to say goodbye, to symbolically release their soul, while keeping precious memories alive in our hearts.
The cork urn, a noble, natural, and warm material, contributes fully to this comforting atmosphere. It embodies the tenderness of a final gesture while nurturing new life. Because that is the true essence: to offer a farewell filled with meaning, and to let a living memorial grow from it.

Step 4
Bury the urn in a garden, a forest… or in a pot
Once the tree is planted in the urn, the next step is burial — a powerful moment, both tangible and symbolic. Two options are available, depending on your preferences and circumstances.
The first option is to place the urn in a suitably sized pot. It can be kept indoors or outdoors — in a garden, on a terrace, or even inside a home or apartment — allowing you to keep the tree, and the memory of your loved one, close by.
The second option is to bury the urn directly in the ground, in a private garden, aforest, or in a place specifically dedicated to remembrance, such as a natural cemetery, a memorial forest, or a designated burial site.
This act of burial carries deep symbolic meaning: it represents the release of the soul, a gentle letting go, and a return to the earth. It is a gesture of love and trust — allowing the spirit to be free, while giving rise to new life.
Step 5
Let time do its work
Once the tree is planted, all that remains is to let time do its work… Nature, with quiet determination, will weave its magic. Roots will anchor into the soil, leaves will reach for the sky, and the tree will grow — nourished by light, water, and memory.
This slow, beautiful transformation symbolizes the continuity of life — a life that evolves, renews itself, and takes on new forms. The tree becomes a bridge between what was and what will be, between remembrance and renewal.
This simple gesture carries a powerful message of hope. It invites us to see death differently — not as an end, but as a transition toward something living, vibrant, and meaningful.
For those who remain, it is also an invitation to live fully, with presence and gratitude. Because perhaps this is the true secret of a meaningful life: to honor those we love by living our own life with depth, love, and peace.
