Tree Urn is a cork urn medium-term biodegradable, designed for the scattering of ashes.
Legal positioning
-
The urn naturally decomposes within 6 to 8 years.
-
The ashes are gradually integrated into the roots and then dispersed into the ground.
-
It is therefore considered a scattering urn, in the same way as scattering ashes in nature.
-
It does not create any official funeral site or commemorative monument.
Possible implantation
-
In a private garden: Allowed, as the landowner decides freely.*
-
In a natural area: Subject to local authorizations.
-
After several years, there is no urn left, only the tree.

Legal compliance: Fits within the framework of ash scattering.
-
Flexibility: Freedom to choose the place of implantation.
