Bios Urn

The Bios Urn is a conceptual design by Martín Ruiz de Azúa — it's an urn for cremated remains that is made out of compacted coconut shells mixed with a layer of organic fertilizer. Inside the mixture is a seed that will germinate upon burial of the urn and grow into a tree. Of course, your remains are more nutrient rich if they are not cremated. A similar product was noted previously here. :: Via productdose
