It is not just about the having another OBJECT but the tree... imagine if everyone born today gets one of these and everyone in the future plants a tree!!!

F for practicality. Do you really need another OBJECT to remind you of your own mortality? Isn't the knowledge alone enough, and far easier to pack and carry? What happens when you imbue that object with all of this meaning, and then the plant dies, or the dog breaks the urn, or it burns down with the house? Or you just start hating it? Yikes. Navel gazing at its manifest best. A for originality. F for practicality. Do you really need another OBJECT to remind you of your own mortality?

For the people who dont understand the size of the tree I would like to introduce them to the japanese tree art Bonsai where you grow trees in all different sizes depending on the space you give them and the way you care about them. The smaller the space the smaller the tree. This is until you put them into the ground where they will start growing into their wild natural state. That s how it works! So keep up the good work!

On the contrary, I think that there is something extremely poetic and romantic in the idea of sharing something as a placenta with a tree. As for using my ashes to feed a tree, it is more meaningful than letting my body roat in a box... Congratulation to the designer for proposing new rituals to deal with birth and death.
