Our collection of Memorial Tree Urns are a hit with families looking for a way to celebrate life by planting a memorial tree.
These small, earth-conscious urns contain tree seeds in the lid, hold 35 cubic inches of cremated remains, and are buried (i.e. planted) in the ground.
Utilizing a special biodegradable and eco-friendly mixture which neutralizes the ph found in cremated ashes, these urns actually incorporate the remains into the growth process for the memorial tree.

Are you the hands on, do-it-yourself, crafty, independant type? Can’t get over the $$$ price tags at the funeral home? Pallets seem to be the best friend of the DIY crowd, and we ran across this tutorial for a DIY pallet coffin.

Unless you are burying the urn at a cemetery or storing the urn in a columbarium (either of these options may have specific requirements for the urn), you are free to use any container you see fit to hold the remains. This can be as simple as a coffee can or a few cool whip containers, or as intricate of a custom made piece as you can create. Here are a few ideas for how to make your own cremation urn.
