Transforming the ashes of a loved one into a living tree symbolizes life and offers a lasting tribute. If you’re considering a plantable funeral urn, you’re looking for an eco-friendly alternative that simplifies the traditional funeral process while preserving its profound emotional significance.
A cork tree urn offers a unique, simple, and respectful way to honor this memory. Here’s your complete guide to choosing and purchasing the perfect funeral urn and creating this living tribute.
Why Choose a Biodegradable Urn to Plant a Tree?
Choosing a planting urn is more than just selecting a container; it’s choosing a philosophy that aligns life, death, and nature
- A True Living Tribute:Unlike static monuments.
- Ecological and Zero-Footprint: Made from 100% biodegradable cork, the urn completely dissolves over time, enriching the soil without leaving behind harmful material or waste.
- The Only Functional Solution: Tree-Urn is the only product designed to guarantee tree growth from ashes on the market. Our system never uses seeds (which are incompatible with the high pH of ashes), but a patented method to nourish a young sapling.
- Legal Simplicity: The Tree-Urn allows for the ashes to be scattered into the earth via the tree’s root system. This falls under the category of natural scattering, freeing families from the complicated legal constraints, concession fees, and maintenance associated with traditional cemeteries.
- Time for Grief and Ritual: The unique design allows the urn to be kept at home for several months, giving you the necessary time to grieve, organize a ceremony, and decide on the perfect planting location without pressure. 👉 Learn more about the Tree-Urn Philosophy of Life and Loss here.
Materials Matter: Why Tree-Urn Uses Cork
When you buy a human ashes urn to plant, the material directly impacts the tree’s health and the ecological outcome:
-
Natural Cork: Cork is porous, sustainable, and decomposes naturally. It is the perfect material to modulate root growth.
-
Dual-Chamber System: The design is engineered to separate the highly alkaline ashes from the delicate young roots initially. The cork acts as a gradual regulator, ensuring the tree’s sapling gets the right nutrients over time, preventing “ash shock.”
Unmatched Quality: Cork vs. the Competition
When you buy a human ashes urn to plant, the material dictates the success of the growth and the aesthetic of the tribute.
| Tree-Urn (Natural Cork) | Competitors (Wood, Salt, Others) |
| Warm, Elegant Material: Natural cork offers a warm, elegant texture, far from the cold appearance of wood or the ugliness of salt-based urns. | Cold or Flawed Materials: Wood is cold and doesn’t regulate nutrients; salt is unaesthetic; and others don’t even close properly. |
| Growth Guarantee: Our dual-chamber system with a cork regulator neutralizes the ash’s alkalinity and ensures a gradual, steady nutrient supply for the young tree. | Failure to Grow: Most competitors use simple seeds—a method any agricultural engineer will confirm is incompatible with the high pH levels of ashes. |
Guide to Selecting Your Tree-Urn Size
Choosing the correct size is crucial for ensuring the appropriate capacity and allowing the dual-chamber system to work effectively.
| Urn Size | Capacity (Ashes Volume) | Typical Use |
| Large (L) | Full volume of adult human ashes | Standard choice for a single adult |
| Medium (M) | Partial volume of adult ashes | Ideal for dividing ashes among family members |
| Small (S) | Smaller volume, often used for pets | Suitable for small portions of ashes or infant remains |
