Live on after death

February 22, 2013 by 4 Comments

I have always had a fear of fire, and therefore cremation kind of creeps me out. But….my general “spiritual” philosophy is that of everything in the universe being connected and being part of the circle of life (to simplify and shorten my views a bunch…anyway…) So today I saw this:

Your ashes are planted along with a tree. I am sold. Bios Urn is one, and The Spirit Tree is another.

I do wonder about actually planting it though. Are there laws? Aren’t human ashes considered a bio hazard? I think you need special permission to carry them on a plane. Can I just plant myself (you know what I mean) anywhere?

What do you think? Want to live on as a tree? I do. Consider this an addendum to my will. And I will know clap twice and turn in a circle to make sure writing this post didn’t conjure up any bad juju for myself.

    That sounds more appealing than some of the other options out there. Thanks for making me think about death. HA! :)

    It is supposed to be illegal to dump your ashes just anywhere. I think. Hasn’t stopped many from dumping them in their gardens and in the ocean.

      I thought so too. That’s the question I need answered. I don’t want my family arrested trying to plant me.

    I have thought about that. With all the dumping ashes in the ocean I wonder how many people we’re swimming with? I try not to think about it. My sisters and i have already discussed what sign I’m going to give them after I die and got to whereever…
