The Independent recently reported on a new start-up headquartered in Spain, a start-up that turns cremated remains into something truly beautiful—and natural. That start-up, Bios Urn, makes it possible to use cremated remains as a means by which to plant a tree. They’ve had over 100,000 clients since 2012. If you or someone you know is looking into cremations in or near Greenwood, IN, know that there are professionals in your area who can make these kind of creative solutions possible. Only your family can decide whether or not a tree-based option is right for you, but many are turning to these kind of possibilities in a bid to do something unique. They’re also looking to honor someone’s memory in ways that are more consistent with their preferences and personality. That has made it possible for companies like Bios Urn to become so successful.

Every family is different. Some prefer the idea of displaying cremated remains at home in an urn. Others like the idea of having them buried or interred. And still others turn to increasingly popular solutions like having the remains scattered somewhere significant. There are no right or wrong answers when it comes to these kinds of options. 

For some families, the idea of using remains to plant a tree can be incredibly moving and poignant. In addition to relying upon a very natural solution, that tree will remain a symbol of a loved one’s life for many years to come. That symbol also represents a very cost-effective option for those who are working with a tight budget. In addition to having a concrete reminder of someone’s life, a tree can also be a means by which to celebrate that life in a positive fashion. We all need time to grieve and cope with the loss that has been incurred. But it is also important to remember someone in all the right ways and for all the right reasons. Planting a tree with their remains is very consistent with those kinds of priorities.
