Everybody wants to do something in their life that they’d be proud of, maybe bring a change in their life or someone else’s. But what if you could do it for the entire humanity and our mother Earth? That too even after you’re dead! Yes, it’s possible in many ways but the one we’re talking about here is something new and probably our favourite so far.

What if we told you, in the near future you’d actually want to move on from coffins to organic burial pods?  Before you confuse yourself, let us explain –  an organic burial pod is somewhat like a big egg which can contain the body of the deceased, just like a baby in the womb. This new burial method conceptualised in Italy is called Capsula Mundi Project, and is the creation of designers Anna Citelli and Raoul Bretzel. The duo was inspired by their common interest and love for trees, which led them to create an organic, biodegradable burial pod. The remains of the deceased are used as nutrients, which help the tree to grow big and beautiful.  

 

 

It sounds like a beautiful way to be useful even after death but however; the organic burial pod is just a concept. If this project gets the green light, the goal here is to create cemeteries but full of trees and they’ll be known as ‘memory forests’. Are you excited to die? (Just kidding!)

Talking about having a meaningful afterlife, there is this other way that can help you turn into a tree, it’s called the Bios Urn. The Bios Urn uses your ashes to turn into a tree. The process is quite simple and you can even choose what type of tree you want to grow into! You can know more at urnabios!
