What is a Cremation Tree Urn?
Before getting into the details of treemation, we’ll first explain what a cremation tree urn is exactly. Basically, it is a biodegradable urn that contains a living tree seed, fertilizer, and ph-neutralizing agents that work alongside the cremated remains of your loved one to nourish the tree over time.
How it Works
Did you know that cremated remains by themselves actually can harm the growth of a tree? Fortunately, this is taken care of with the addition of the ph-neutralizing agents as well as the fertilizer. Filling the urn is very simple as all that is required of you is to remove the lid, insert the cremains, and replace the lid again. Be sure not to add all of the remains, as this is not necessary.
Before Planting
Depending on the type of tree you choose, it’s a good idea to do thorough research on the internet prior to purchasing to get a good idea of its watering, soil, sun exposure, and location needs and requirements.
Planting the Tree
Once you finally reach the step of planting the tree, you’ll be impressed by how simple it all is! At the location of your choosing, dig a hole around 6-7’’ deep for the urn. Next, you’ll want to carefully place the urn in an upright position, ensuring that the lower vessel is touching the bottom while the upper capsule is closer to the surface. After that all you have to do is replace the soil, leaving no more than 1’’ of soil over the top of the urn. Lastly, you simply water the area, and you are all done! Feel free to use a light mulch over the area to protect the urn from any excessive cold or heat.
No Timeline
One of the best and most appealing things about this option is that there is no required timeline dictating when you can or cannot plant the tree. Fortunately, cremains are always ready to use in a cremation tree urn, so you can take your time with making the decision.
Planting a cremation tree urn has never been easier! We hope we’ve helped you decide whether or not this is the right decision for you and your loved ones.
