Urn lets you become a tree after death

An eco-friendly urn offers people who decide to be cremated the opportunity to give back to Earth with their remains – literally.

Designed and created by Spanish designer Martín Ruiz de Azúa, who lives in Barcelona, the Bios Urn allows people to have their ashes eventually grow into a tree.



The Bios Urn is a mortuary urn made from biodegradable materials: coconut shell, compacted peat and cellulose.

Each urn contains the seed of a tree inside. Once the urn is planted the seed begins to develop and grow. You have the option of picking from a variety of trees and plants.
