I saw this in a vision many many years ago, in my early 30's. I grow into a willow tree! ~`~

Forget Coffins – Organic Burial Pods Will Turn Your Loved Ones Into Trees | Bored Panda

Damn I like that idea. I wonder if it's do-able here in the states?

You could always just be incinerated first and then have someone bury you with tree seed(s)

I like the idea too, but I'd hate for some idiot in the far future to cut down the tree my dead body helped to grow, or for initials to be carved into the bark. It's for this general reason that I want to be incinerated and scattered, not put in a box and then tied down to an arbitrary plot of land. I guess I just don't want anything marked as "me" or "my" spot or tree.

The idea of being buried in a fetal position is interesting though. Reminds me of that one shot of a Na'vi grave in Avatar.

Irayo, Mika, for sharing this. I like this new idea of burial...I hope they're able to make it a reality.

the thought of me as an organic part of a very giant elm tree, is indeed appealing...provided i haven't found my way off this rock first.

That's both cool and weird. I don't know how people would feel about the tree in their backyard having a body under it...

my Mennonite/Luthern relatives gave me the fisheye when i mentioned this to them lol, pretty much the same fisheye i get when Avatar comes up in conversation. yeah, they can go visit their Amish cousins while i watch my Avatar CE blu-ray again.
