🌱 Tree Urn: the biodegradable urn that transforms memory into life
In a world where the quest for meaning and ecology has become central to even our most intimate choices, Tree Urn stands as a true revolution. Unlike traditional biodegradable urns, which disintegrate quickly and release the ashes abruptly into the soil, Tree Urn has been designed to accompany nature, protect it, and enrich it.
🌍 An urn 100% eco-friendly and compostable
Made from cork, a natural and fully compostable material, Tree Urn leaves no harmful trace. At the end of its cycle, it transforms into fertile humus, nourishing the earth and strengthening the growth of the chosen tree.

💧 A progressive and respectful release of ashes
The ingenuity of Tree Urn lies in its unique two-compartment microporous system, designed to support the growth of the tree over several years. Water enters through the upper part, where the tree takes root, then gradually flows down to the ash chamber. It then diffuses through the side walls of the urn, allowing a slow and controlled release.
Through this process, the ashes become a true resource for the soil and the tree: their alkalinity is released gently, over weeks and months, without burning or disturbing the soil, but instead nourishing it.
🌳 A perfect alliance between memory and life
Thanks to this process, Tree Urn does more than preserve nature: it nourishes it. The tree grows not in spite of the ashes, but because of them, in a harmonious balance.
✨ A unique system in the world
Eco-friendly, compostable, life-giving, and respectful of the soil: Tree Urn is much more than a funeral urn. It embodies a new vision of remembrance, where each farewell becomes a rebirth. How it works?
🌿 The importance of grief with Tree Urn
Far more than a simple urn, Tree Urn is a gentle presence during the delicate moment of grief. Unlike traditional urns — often cold, distant, or impersonal — this one is made of cork, a natural material that is warm and comforting to the touch.
Holding Tree Urn in your hands brings a sense of physical comfort, a tactile connection that feels almost maternal, a small gesture of softness in the midst of loss.
This warmth extends into the tree planted within the urn. This ritual — planting the tree, nourishing the soil, watering patiently — becomes an active ceremony of mourning, a moment of sharing and love.
🌳 Moreover, thanks to its eco-friendly and compostable nature, Tree Urn belongs to the family of urns designed for ash dispersion. But it does so in a unique way: by allowing the ashes to diffuse slowly and gently, without harming the soil, while enriching the earth and nourishing the tree.
This gradual release creates an exceptional transition: it allows the necessary time to fully experience the ceremony and to walk through grief with gentleness. It is a true letting go, a way of gradually accepting departure. And at the end of this process, what remains is a tree, a symbol of continuity and life, growing freely and autonomously in nature, carrying the symbolic memory of the loved one.
🌳 The choice of tree: a profound and timeless symbolism
The choice of the tree planted in Tree Urn goes far beyond the botanical: it represents a rich symbolism, both timeless and universal.
On a spiritual level, the tree is a sacred link between heaven and earth: its roots anchor us to lived memory, while its branches rise toward the invisible and the transcendent, like the tree of life, a universal symbol of connection, growth, and continuity.
In philosophical traditions, such as in the writings of Simone Weil, the tree reflects the human condition and reveals our place within the cosmos.
Each species may also embody a specific virtue: the ash tree, for instance, symbolizes inner strength and protection, the qualities of a true pillar for communities.
Planting a tree in the ashes is therefore not just a funeral gesture: it is an affirmation of rebirth and permanence. Memory does not dissolve — it takes root and rises. Thus, Tree Urn becomes a living ritual where memory, nature, and symbolism converge to celebrate transition, growth, and life.

Conclusion: a new vision of remembrance
With Tree Urn, death does not bring life to an end… it becomes the seed of it.
It is far more than a funeral urn: it is a bridge between memory and future, between the visible and the invisible, between the pain of grief and the continuity of life.
