The Oak tree has always been looked upon
as the most solid and respected of all trees, with its unusual
scalloped leaves and hat top seeds (acorns). The oak starts strong with a
thick deep root system that digs into the earth, stabilizing the broad
trunk that will shoot forth. It is marked by low, heavy branches that
children grow up climbing and building tree houses on while wondering
over the kaleidoscopic display that overwhelms the senses. When those
vividly colored leaves start to shed, they delight the eye with dancing
displays of color, riding the breezes and covering the ground in softly
cushioned layers, inviting more play and excitement.
The
mighty Oak is truly a tree that is perfect for remembering a loving
parental, protective and fun soul that delights in the music of
children’s laughter.
These memorial
tree cremation urns contain seeds for you to grow an Oak tree embedded
into the lid, along with an unique mix that aids in the release of
beneficial plant nutrients which are found in cremated ashes. By
themselves, ashes are harmful to plants’ health and well-being. However,
by planting our memorial tree urns with your loved one’s cremated
ashes, you cultivate a mixture that nourishes and sustains your memorial
tree. The urn planter comes inside a beautiful keepsake tin, which can
be used after planting the tree as a keepsake memorial chest for
letters, trinkets, photos, and more.
**Note:
These are very small urns, intended to hold only a small amount of
remains (35 cubic inches). If you would like to plant trees using all of
the remains, figure 1 cubic inch per 1 pound of body weight. So a 175
lb individual would require 5 of these biodegradable memorial tree urns
(175 lbs / 35 cubic inches = 5 urns).**

Damien's note: Five urns means you could become a grove, not just a tree.
Funny, I just posted an African proverb about the best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago and the second best time is now. Hmmm. Should I be worried?
