Cremation Tree Pods
Can you imagine becoming a beautiful tree after you die? It may be hard to visualize, but that’s exactly what will happen with a cremation tree pod.
What are Cremation Tree Pods?
Tree urns are essentially a way to turn death into life. It’s a combination of burial and cremation, which turns the ashes into something that is amazingly good for the earth.
A cremation tree pod provides the soil with necessary nutrients and helps to clean the air.
It’s a living creation and a memorial to the departed, which lives on for many years.
How Do They Work?
You will receive the necessary items with instructions. After the container is planted, the tree begins to sprout and the container dissolves.
They are designed to hold all or most of the ashes of one person. However, you can place only a portion of the ashes.
Some people purchase more than one tree pod to give to other family members and divide the ashes among them. That gives them a memorial as well.

How Much Do They Cost?
They are a small fraction of the cost for a traditional burial or interring a normal urn. The price is typically between $80 – $150, which we’ll discuss below.

Their goal is to change the way people understand life. Their aim is to reinstate man into natures life cycle.

The Living Urn is the first cremation urn planting system. It’s made from recycled materials and is 100% biodegradable.
It was developed by lifelong friends. After the death of one of their friends, they were motivated to find a special way to memorialize him and be kind to the earth at the same time.
It’s a complex design, but super simple for you to plant.
Trees Available
A wide variety of tree types are available from which to choose. You will receive them as a seedling (baby tree) instead of a seed.
If trees aren’t your preference, you can go to your local nursery and purchase plant or flower instead.
Many people plant it where they can see it every time they look out the window.
How it Works
You have a choice of an evergreen tree including, pine, spruce, or cypress, which will be sent to you immediately.
Otherwise, you have the option of over 20 types of seasonal trees.
You will determine your planting zone and it’s delivered during the optimal growing season in your area, to ensure healthy growth and survival.
How to Plant
Planting Urn
Your Living Urn arrives in a lovely bamboo shell, which many people use as a keepsake later. Inside is a biodegradable urn made from recycled materials.
You will fill the urn with either the entire cremated remains or a portion if desired, followed by the seedling.
RootProtect, which is a neutralizing agent, is poured on top of the cremains, followed by the soil mix, wood chips, and instructions. All are contained in the package.
Then you are ready to plant in the place of your choice. A very easy process.
