The Poetree – A New Funeral Urn Concept

Designed by Margaux Ruyant, the Poetree lets you remember a loved one you have lost in a completely new way. Instead of the usual burial or sprinkling of ashes, you can now take this urn home and plant a tree in it. The urn is made of a biodegradable material and ceramic and will eventually disappear. Only the tree and the ceramic top will remain, just like a gravestone. Clever hey?!
