I must confess I haven’t completed everything I have advised folks to do in my book. I have done most of it though, and one thing I have done is to choose what will be done with my cremains.
I have decided to use a bio urn for my ashes. A Bio urn is a biodegradable urn that can be planted in a place of your choice, although you do need to determine the statutes that apply to your community. The one I plan to use is from Bios Urn, These come with tree seeds that will be fed by the minerals of your ashes as it grows and the urn biodegrades. I have already gotten permission from the Trustee Board at my church to be planted in the Prayer Garden. I’m still trying to decide the best type of tree for the space.
This company also has urns for pets, and planters for your cremains if you want to grow in a loved one’s home or on their patio. The possibilities are endless!
If you have already made your cremation plans, ask them about the availability of cemeteries in your area that are accepting of bio urns.
