The Spiritree is a biodegradable cinerary urn that takes a loved one’s ashes and transforms them into a living memorial tree. The two piece urn is made up of an organic bottom shell and a chemically inert, all weathering ceramic cover. The bottom half of the Spiritree holds the cremated remains whilst the top part keeps them in place and protects from dispersion. When planting the Spiritree, the plant feeds itself from the biodegradable base and calcium rich remains. Eventually the tree will be large enough to break the ceramic cover and over time this will degrade.
