AgroaldeaURN is made of biodegradable materials.
It seems a simple disposable cup with a little man inside, but in reality it is an urn with a tree seed inside. It is an ecological way to store and transform our morturorios remains on something alive, according to its creator.
The “Bios urn” It is a project that reintegrates man in the natural life cycle, It is a secular ritual of regeneration and return to nature. Bios is a funeral urn made of biodegradable materials: coconut shell, compacted peat and cellulose. Inside it contains the seed of a tree that can be replaced by another seed, outbreak or suitable plant to the place chosen. When the urn is planted, the seed germinates and begins to grow.
Your Creator, Gerard Moline, a Spanish designer used the Bios urn as final year project. according to Moline, what is intended is “change the funerary ritual of conservation by one of transformation, ecological and lay ".
Bios has been made by the inmates of the prison of Catalonia driven by the CIRE, Center for Reinsertion Initiatives.
Once buried, in an average time of three months, the urn will have disintegrated, and ashes will remain and seeds. Cemeteries can become real gardens as it is not considered an initiative only for people.
It is expected to also use to bury animals, normally our pets. The famous gor¡la, snowflake, He was buried in a Bios urn and now it is becoming a Calodendrum Capense, an African tree, in the zoo of Barcelona.
The oak initially containing the urn, It is replaced by ash and other seed. You can choose the type of tree you want to plant in the ballot box, and tree care is the responsibility of relatives and friends of the deceased.
Some have proposed the creation of olive groves and other farms for growing fruit from the Bios Urn. Some municipalities are considering the creation of gardens from the invention.
Its average price is 70 EUR, but we can find other biodegradable urns for a 30 EUR.
But not the only possibility of collaborating with the planet after death. For a little more, between 3.600 and 11.500 EUR, other forms of regeneration are more avant-garde: convert the deceased diamond.
This is an initiative of the Catalan company "Algordanza Iberian", he has found a way to turn the ashes into a diamond up 3 carat. The price will depend Diamond Carat, which will be cheaper the lower the. The minimum is 0,30 carat (3.600 €) and 11.500 € cost diamonds 1 carat.
The ashes were transported to Switzerland, Algordanza the laboratory of Iberian, where they would be analyzed and they would extract carbon to make it a jewel. Then, It is given to the family along with a chemical analysis of the characteristics of the ash and a certificate from the Swiss Gemological Institute. They will also have the possibility of making an engraving on the diamond laser.
However, Fashion ecological coffins are gaining many adherents. Not only because eviitan environmental contamination of conventional caskets, but, In addition, allow great economic savings.
Like this, in Anglo-Saxon countries, Natural Death Centre funeral home offers “eco-caskets” made of wood with organic certification “FSC”, recycled paperboard, bamboo and other toxic plant fibers without any treatment of metal or synthetic varnish or any element.
Models and materials such coffins are varied. Somerset Willow Company manufactures with goal posts, and in 5 years has increased production from one month up to twenty per week.
The company Ecopod, in addition to designing eco-caskets recycled paper, He has launched a “seed-coffin”. The biodegradable sarcophagus, shaped sheath and its contents, just generating life on earth. Something similar offers Capsulamundi, an Italian project involving recycled as seed container to feed a tree. 
The Spanish company Restbox manufactures recyclable cardboard coffins. According to its managers, the need for a conventional coffin tree allows 100 cardboard coffins. Thus, It helps reduce reforestation caused by this sector: In Europe they are harvested annually one million trees to make coffins. Also, bearing plastic parts are biodegradable, and avoids the use of adhesives, additives or metals of conventional coffins, harmful to the environment.
It seems that this is just beginning.
