Forget Coffins – Organic Burial Pods Will Turn Your Loved Ones Into Trees

The idea of coming full circle and returning whence we came from is one that appeals to many of us, regardless of our faith (or lack thereof), and this is an idea captured perfectly by this beautiful new burial method developed in Italy. The Capsula Mundi project by designers Anna Citelli and Raoul Bretzel has developed an organic, biodegradable burial capsule that will turn the deceased’s body into nutrients for a tree that will grow out of their remains.

After being encapsulated in the fetal position, the deceased is buried and either a tree or tree seed is planted above their capsule. The project’s site already has a number of trees to choose from.

The project is currently only a concept because Italian law forbids such burials. If it were allowed to proceed, however, the project’s aim would be to create entire memorial parks full of trees instead of tombstones. And instead of destroying and burying wood for wooden coffins, we would, at the end of our lives, provide sustenance for new trees instead. And indeed, the idea that our loved ones and descendants could visit our tree, care for it and rest in its shade is truly a comforting one.

An Italian company came up with an eco-friendly alternative to coffins

I love the idea, it somehow gives you the feeling that your loved one is still there :) way better than being stuck under the ground!

It is a lovely idea, but I can't help but think of the space required if each body/person had its own tree. Many tree species require quite a spread to grow healthfully (wouldn't want the tree to die!). I like the idea of memorial forests, forests of native trees and shrubs in which remains are buried. You would likely give nourishment to a tree or two, but just as likely to an understory shrub or wild flowers.

0points

Lorraine Harrison 8 years ago

I absolutely love this idea. I had always considered the most green way was to be cremated, thus not turning huge swathes of land into cemeteries. This ticks all the boxes for me. Going back to the earth and doing something to help repair the ozone layer and preserving other forests that would otherwise be cut down to turn into coffins. Brilliant idea - I hope it become attainable before my time comes.

The tree nourishes on the skeleton not the entire body. The organs decompose into gasses and what is left of flesh are eaten by bugs and underground insects. The Skelton is what nourishes the ground and grows into a tree. So instead of an entire body , it is actually better to put cremation ashes into a biodegradable capsule.
