Coffinless Burials - Your Loved Ones Become Trees


maybe I'm just a sucker for a classy visual, but I just love these egg-shaped burial pods which can fertilise a tree after you're gone...

Capsula Mundi is a container with an old perfect shape, just like an egg, made with modern material -starch plastic- in which the dead body is put in a fetal position. Capsula Mundi is planted like a seed in the soil, and a tree is planted on top of it. The tree is chosen when the person is alive, relatives and friends look after it when death occurs.

This also negates the need for a formalised cemetery beside a church, you can just have a tree planted somewhere in the wild the way commemorative benches are sometimes set up overlooking a favourite view or nearby a favourite walkway or site.
