Feed me to the trees

Lovable loser and secret preservationist Rodney Dangerfield once said (in Caddyshack): “Country clubs and cemeteries are the biggest wasters of prime real estate! Dead people? They don’t need to be buried nowadays. Ecology, right?” And what’s more ecological than a tree? Well, you can now trade in that coffin for a biodegradible funerary urn (for 75 euros, or approximately $100) from Bios Urn (www.urnabios.com). The urn contains a tree seed, some soil, and once you die, your cremated ashes. Your loved ones can then plant it in the ground, and watch you/your tree grow into a new life.
