Plant your ‘furever’ life and grow a tree in your pet’s honour

Imagine if you could celebrate and remember your beloved family furbaby by growing new life in their honour.

This is now possible thanks to an innovative, new, green invention that allows you to fertilise and grow a tree with your pet’s ashes.

Ballito couple Brent and Christine Westoby from Cemetrees.com recently introduced the international Bios Urn to South Africa.

“When we grieve, many of us yearn to have something we can see and touch to remind us of the one who is no longer there. You have cremated ashes but you want to do something more with them,” said Christine.

Built with a special capsule that meets the needs of any type of tree, the 100 percent biodegradable Bios Urn creates the perfect medium to allow for the proper growth of a tree or plant from seed or seedling fertilised with the ashes.

“What better way to remember your best friend than to immortalize their body as a tree.

“Imagine a beautiful flowering plant or tree growing in the garden where they once ran and played. While nothing could ever replace that life, choosing a plant for your home or garden is a powerful way to remember that special bond.”

Brent said the tree or plant becomes a living memorial.

“It is a way to express love that has not ended with death. When nourished by the cremated ashes, something extraordinary happens to the plant. It becomes a living symbol of a special life.”
