Death, a sensitive subject that most designers stray from, Gerard Moline has tackled this and created a biodegradable urn that goes back into the ground and plants a tree. It is made from coconut shell, compacted peat and cellulose. Other companies have used Gerard Moline's urn as an example to make others out of different biodegradable materials such as paper, sand and gelatin, cornstarch, bamboo, and recycled paper. You can chose what kind of plant you would like to grow as well. Or you can even chose to have an urn that breaks down in water. It floats for a short period of time that sinks into the water.
