Bios Tree Urn for cremation ashes

A farewell that continues to grow

Some people find comfort not in preservation, but in continuation. The Bios cremation ashes tree urn is made for exactly that: a burial that lets something living grow from the ashes of someone you loved.

Handmade from plant-based materials

This urn is crafted by hand from plant fibres, fine gold-coloured sand and plant extracts. The production process demands real precision: the two parts of the urn must fit closely together to protect both the seed and the ashes until the moment of burial. That level of care in the making reflects the intention behind it. This is a cremation urn built around the idea that what is placed in the ground does not simply disappear, but becomes part of something new.

Choosing a tree that means something

A tree takes time. It grows slowly, puts down roots, and over the years becomes stronger and more present. If you choose a species that held meaning for the person you are remembering, an apple tree, an oak, an ornamental cherry, that growth becomes personal. The bond you shared finds a visible form, one that returns each season and changes as the years pass. There is something quietly sustaining in that.

What to expect from this material

The Bios cremation ashes tree urn is fully biodegradable and designed exclusively for outdoor use, buried in the ground. The urn already contains a seed, so no additional planting materials are needed. Once buried, the urn, the ashes and the seed are gradually absorbed into the soil together, leaving no chemical residues behind.

How breakdown works in practice

Decomposition depends on soil composition and moisture levels in the ground. On average, the urn and ashes are fully absorbed within three to six months. The process is gradual and entirely natural. If you are considering a specific tree species or thinking about whether a garden or a natural burial ground would be the right setting, we are happy to talk that through with you before you make a final decision.

Storage and moisture: what to be aware of

Because the urn is made from plant fibres and sand rather than ceramic or glass, there is no risk of breakage during handling. There is, however, one practical consideration: the urn should be kept dry until the time of burial. Prolonged exposure to moisture before use can begin the decomposition process early and weaken the structure of the urn. Store it somewhere dry and sheltered if burial is not immediate.
