Since time immemorial, the tree has been a symbol of life and eternity in various world cultures. The tree symbolizes the cycle of life and death in its growth process. From a seed, a new plant is born. It grows and develops. Finally, the tree dies to become an organic matter that nourishes other living beings. And, eventually, new seeds and new plants.
For this reason, it's no surprise that allegorical ash urns from the tree have gained popularity in recent years, as they offer a sustainable and symbolic way to honor our deceased loved ones.
The Tree Of Life: Eternal Symbol
The tree of life symbolizes the union between human beings and nature. Starting with its roots, which evoke birth. Passing through the trunk, associated with personal growth. And ending with the branches and leaves, which would be the paths we have traveled and our decisions. In short, all our life experiences.
If we look at its spiritual meaning, the tree of life shows us the connection between the Earth (roots) and heaven (branches). Some myths speak about the tree of life and its link between humans and the divine.
Unalterable Steel, Durable Urn
Among the most durable and resistant tree funeral urns on the market are the stainless steel urns, such as the Tree Root, the Crystal Cube, or the Mirror Pyramid. These urns for ashes are designed to last for many years without deteriorating. Thanks to the high resistance of the material they are made of, which is resistant to corrosion and wear.
In addition, these handmade cinerary urns have an elegant and minimalist design that integrates perfectly into any rustic or urban environment.
The Care (And Dangers) Of An Urn Tree That Is Planted
Even though the idea of planting a tree from the ashes of a loved one can be very appealing, it is essential to note that not all "organic" urns are suitable to be planted in the wild.
For example, bioplastic or papier-mâché urns, although biodegradable, can decompose quickly and release the cremains into the environment, harming the ecosystem.
On the other hand, human ashes have such a high pH that they inhibit the absorption of essential nutrients by the roots of plants and trees, which can prevent their average growth and put their survival at risk.
In conclusion, if you are looking for a sustainable and symbolic way to honor your deceased loved ones, consider acquiring a durable and sturdy stainless steel urn such as the Tree Root Graphite or the Return to Nature bronze urn, and place it as a decorative and symbolic element in the natural or domestic environment that you like best.
