Bios-Urn
An urn that transforms the ritual of death into an act of regeneration and life

Functionality and use of design
Bio is an urn for ashes, which transforms the ritual of death into an act of regeneration and life. It is made of compacted organic material (coconut shell) which is then covered in a layer of cellulose-containing organic fertilizer. Inside this there is a seed which will later germinate and grow into a tree.

Thanks to the Bio-Urn graveyards would turn into forests filled with life and meaning and the end of our lives would become an act of reconciliation with nature itself.
