Why Choosing a Tree Urn for PET ashes?
Our Biodegradable Tree Urn for PET ashes offers a meaningful way to transform the loss of a a dog, cat, bunny, or other beloved companion, into a living memory. This eco-friendly cork urn will grow a tree in their honor.
The Natural Benefits of Cork
Ecological Properties of Cork
Cork is a naturally biodegradable and renewable material, making it an ideal choice for an eco-friendly urn. Its harvesting does not harm trees, contributing to the sustainability of cork oak forests.
Durability and Natural Decomposition
In addition to being eco-friendly, cork is durable and decomposes naturally without releasing toxic substances. This ensures that the urn blends harmoniously with nature, nourishing the soil and the young tree.
Why Choose a Young Tree for the Ashes
Compatibility of Ashes with a Young Tree
Cremation ashes contain beneficial minerals for a young tree but also have a very alkaline pH of 10 to 12. Unlike seeds or sprouts, which may struggle to grow in the presence of ashes, a sapling is more robust and capable of assimilating the nutrients from the ashes without being affected by the high pH.
Comparison with Seeds and Sprout
Seeds and sprouts require specific soil conditions to germinate and grow, which can be compromised by ashes. A young tree, already rooted, has every chance of thriving, making the process reliable and symbolically strong.
The Process of Transforming Ashes into Tree Nutrients
Detailed Explanation of the Process
The tree urn is designed to be planted in the ground or in a pot, depending on its size, and to allow the roots and ashes to mix with the soil, providing essential nutrients to the young tree.
Benefits for the Ecosystem
This process not only aids the growth of the young tree but also enriches the surrounding soil. It supports biodiversity and contributes to reforestation, offering a living and lasting tribute to our beloved animal.
