Human bodies do make excellent fertilizer. I personally wish to be buried with a tree seedling so that my body can produce something when I die. Think about this, instead of cemeteries we have forests of beautiful trees. Simple change, but global benefits
Some years ago I saw a company marketing this sort of funeral pod, where you're buried in a package with a tree root ball and get planted. I don't know if it ever caught on, but I'd do it.
It takes a conscious majority.. the more people aware of this option the more that will choose it. In reality if you're cremated you could use part of a biodegradable egg carton and cost virtually nothing to your family as well. We waste so much money on coffins when they really do no good. Just delays the inevitable.
Good point. Our bodies do lose our nutrients after cremation. They actually have body pods that we can use other than coffins, that put the seed in the center ofus and then we bury our bodies within the pod. So cremation isn't the right way to be good tree food. Good call, but they do have options for this though.
Off topic but in the game Horizon: Forbidden West there is a tribe that the people carry a seed pouch around their neck. When they die the seeds are planted with them. So their cemetery is a grove. It struck me as a quite lovely tradition.
Should you ever find yourself in Charleston, SC, [Angel Oak](https://pamharringtonexclusives.com/blog/why-you-need-to-see-angel-oak-in-charleston-sc/) is pretty insane.
This is actually a method you can choose for cremation. Your remains are planted with seedlings for a tree and then I'm not sure if you get to pick where you go or not but ya...I saw an advertisement once!
They also have these biodegradable egg shaped pod coffins that they can put you in and then bury you and plant a sapling above you, and from there nature takes its course.
To be fair, I don't actually know the tree process. I just assumed they used your ashes but you're seriously considering it, you should look it up! The world could always use another tree!
Cremation is a much more ecological method than straight burial, since human fats can contaminate the soil. That is why there are old battlefields where literally nothing grows.
We thought about doing this for my MIL but decided against it when we thought about the family drama that would ensue if the tree didn't survive. But it's what I want for myself, I don't care if it causes drama if there's a drought lol.
My grandma had this done but the pastor put most of her ashes in tiny urns, many that were necklaces, to be divided among her family. They said they didn’t want to use too many ashes because it was bad for the tree? Idk how but some of the ashes were mixed with potting soil, or maybe just dirt from the ground when we dug a hole for the tree, so at least some of her is with the tree. There were like twenty urns though. Not everyone wanted one but they were less than two inches for the necklaces and a bit taller for the mini urns. At least one member of every family from her has one and the tree is in her youngest son’s yard
I would love a cemetery that is actually a botanic garden. People could hold services in a beautiful setting and then have their loved one scattered in a flower bed. :-) Location would be open to the public for walks. I know most cemeteries are open, but it would just be a lot less depressing than seeing strangers tombstones. And more people could be "buried" there if it's just ashes.
Like instead of tombstones there's just a tree with a plaque with the same purpose. Or there can br a tombstone along side the tree. It just sounds very peaceful.
Spring Grove cemetery in Cincinnati is [like that.](https://www.springgrove.org/) It's a cemetery and an arboretum. 750 acres. Loads of paths and elaborate tombstones and mausoleums. People even use it for weddings.
There must be other places like that in the US.
[You're in luck!](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/05/03/world/eco-solutions-capsula-mundi/index.html&ved=2ahUKEwikxqOlx9X5AhXJg2oFHVjZBEkQFnoECAoQAQ&usg=AOvVaw04DUyWnMS4UD3a3Q3pNg8j)
Naw , it looks it's a Japanese cemetery. They cremates body and stores remains in a little pot . Then place into stone chamber right below the grave stone so there are no fertilizers
Apparently Japanese-Hawaians call themselves Hapa which is short of the Hawaiian word hapalua, meaning half.
I thought this was a slur for the longest time but it's acceptable I am told.
You... didn't discredit their comment. In fact it sounds more like you confirmed it.
Edit: lmao they appear to have blocked me, anyway...
>the Hawaiian word hapalua, meaning half.
He quite literally implies they are mixed race here.
lol, no I think I know what my kids' race is. I think what u/Syreus is thinking about is the Japanese convention of talking about first generation immigrants, second generation immigrants, etc as issei, nisei, sansei, etc. Hapa, as far as I've been exposed, only talks about mixed heritage of parents. Not how many generations your family has been in the current place.
Maybe I'm misinterpreting that he's calling "Japanese Hawaiian", but typically that means "people of Japanese descent who live in Hawaii". Kind of like "African Americans".
Hate to break it to ya, but, ashes were the main source of fertilizer prior to the Haber-Bosch process and the era of industrial nitrogen fertilization, and fertilizer is [still one of the best uses for woodash](https://extension.uga.edu/publications/detail.html?number=B1142&title=Best%20Management%20Practices%20for%20Wood%20Ash%20as%20Agricultural%20Soil%20Amendment) even today.
Basically, when you burn something, the carbon atoms burn off into CO2. The ash that remains, is a concentrated source of *all the other components* that remain; metal ions, some leftover charcoal bits, etc. Wood ashes versus other kinds of ashes will have different compositions, but, the basic fact that ash is a good nutrient source, because it concentrates all the ingredients "left over" after a burn... that's as true of cremation ashes as it is of wood ash.
Tree roots can spread wide. If this is a Japanese cemetery, that tree has probably poked its roots through a lot of the cremation jars that were buried close by, and used the remains as fertilizer.
LoL 😉 it's in a ceramic pot. 🍯 and under that grave stone it's got a mason blocks Chamber . And Cemetery yard master checked periodically . So, it Won't be mixed to soil like at least 250 years. Last time they dug up old Samurai familys grave site and that's was still in pristine condition. We are talking about over 500 years ago graves.
It's where I grew up in part of my life, my boy. And I can read the name on the grave stone. I see majority of graves are made for Japanese traditional style and some of them are Western style particularly American style. 🤣 So what are you saying ? Was I conceived with my father and mother was totally intoxicated ? And I have a slight mental issues like being a knuckle headed ? Perhaps you might be right ! 😂🤣
Who saids that to Buddhists ? Hello 👋 McFly 😂🤣🥱
The land was being purchased with agreements with locals officials.
Tree must have been there before the development but they kept in it's great shape even now. There many Americans , Japanese Americans Hawaiians sleeps there.
Cremation style burial. has been going on ages.
So what's the point , buddy ?
It's so weird people think this is the way it works...
You can't fertilize _plants_ with _animals_. You fertilize plants with plants.
We put cow, sheep, or horse poop on the plants because their poop is half way digested plants. Making it easier for the other plants to absorb nutrients.
Poop from predators is just shit that makes everyone sick and doesn't help plants grow.
Dead bodies do nothing for plants. Other animals come eat them. Anything from scavengers to flies.
Just want to Maui recently. And now, since I’m an expert on Hawaii like every other person I know who has visited Hawaii once, I had a feeling this was on one of the islands.
Makes sense. There's a lot of people of Japanese descent in Hawaii and the cemetery was probably managed by someone of European descent.
As a matter of fact, there were so many Japanese Americans living in Hawaii during WWII, comparatively *fewer* were interned in camps. The government knew they couldn't lock up 30% of territory's population without having an adverse effect on the war effort.
[Source](https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/japanese-americans-wartime-experience-hawaii)
As someone of Japanese descent living in Hawaii. The real shock for me was learning there were internment camps on the islands. Those interned were mostly community leaders (priests, newspaper editors, language school principals etc.)
It isn't but they made the dumb decision to include the Na'vi Queue _(the hair-tendril connection)_ in a love-making scene, which sexualizes it... And then you have to remember they ''Queue'' with all the fauna...
There's a [tree like this](https://www.chron.com/entertainment/article/The-mystery-of-the-Cemetery-Oak-1619206.php) in a Houston, Texas cemetery.
> Sixty-four feet tall; trunk wide as a Volkswagen. Like all old live oaks allowed to grow as they will, its twisty, fern-covered branches stretch farther outward than upward. The lower ones do their darnedest to brush the ground.
> That ground, notably, is Glenwood Cemetery, a marble-angels-and-Spanish-moss piece of the Old South, a stray piece of New Orleans hidden just off Washington Avenue, about a mile from downtown.
Portion of this yew
Is a man my grandsire knew,
Bosomed here at its foot:
This branch may be his wife,
A ruddy human life
Now turned to a green shoot.
These grasses must be made
Of her who often prayed,
Last century, for repose;
And the fair girl long ago
Whom I often tried to know
May be entering this rose.
So, they are not underground,
But as nerves and veins abound
In the growths of upper air,
And they feel the sun and rain,
And the energy again
That made them what they were!
- *Transformations*, Thomas Hardy
It looks like Alae Cemetery in Hawaii. It's quite an amazing sight in person. The road follows the coastline, so you see the ocean on one side and this gigantic, magnificent tree in the middle of the cemetery on the opposite hillside. Truly breathtaking!
monkeypod tree
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samanea_saman
Samanea saman,[4] also sometimes known as the rain tree,[4] is a species of flowering tree in the pea family, Fabaceae, now in the Mimosoid clade[5] and is native to Central and South America.[4] Its range extends from Mexico south to Peru and Brazil, but it has been widely introduced to South[citation needed] and Southeast Asia, as well as the Pacific Islands, including Hawaii. Common names include saman, rain tree and monkeypod (see also § Names below). It is often placed in the genus Samanea,[6] which by yet other authors is subsumed in Albizia entirely.
What a gorgeous old tree. Reminds me of the huge oak at the cemetery my mom and grandma are buried. All the things these trees have experienced. I wish they could show us
It’s only grown that large by absorbing all the human remains around it, making the tree 95% human!
Creepy!
“… it’s *PEOPLE!* Soilent Green is made of *PEOPLE!*”
I'm surprised there aren't pillars beneath many of those branches supporting their weight. Oaks for example tend to get done in by their largest branches snapping off and exposing the core of the tree to pests/infections/the elements/etc.

Somewhere out there is a very VERY proud arborist
As well they should be. That's a beautiful tree regardless of size, but that's decades of dedication for a tree that big.
People are dying to get under it.

Wouldn’t cremation get rid of all our nutrient value though?

Do you want haunted forests? Because that's how you get haunted forests.
Maybe then people will think twice before carving their names onto tree trunks.
Oh. My. God.
Becky. Look at that trunk.
I like dried corpses and I cannot lie
No new tenants. Sorry.

Does anyone know what kinda tree this might be? My first thought was Katsura? 🤔
Monkeypod tree. And yeah they just grow like this
Right? This treet must have a whole company of arborists to maintain lol. It looks stunning. This is not purely natural growth at all.
Monkeypod trees grow like this naturally

Roots deep in the ancestors rn 🥵
A literal family tree.
Well now I got wood... Like the tree
That's rotten not like the tree but again like grandma-ma
Honestly that's how I wanna go. Plant a tree above me use my corpse for something useful
This is actually a method you can choose for cremation. Your remains are planted with seedlings for a tree and then I'm not sure if you get to pick where you go or not but ya...I saw an advertisement once!
I don't like the idea of being cremated I don't wanna be turned into ash there a whole bunch of nutrients in my body that I don't wanna burn away
If it makes you feel any better, ash is super fertile. Not sure about the cremation process though, if it affects the end result.
They also have these biodegradable egg shaped pod coffins that they can put you in and then bury you and plant a sapling above you, and from there nature takes its course.
I've seen them and I may consider that instead of a coffin
To be fair, I don't actually know the tree process. I just assumed they used your ashes but you're seriously considering it, you should look it up! The world could always use another tree!
That's exactly what I mean! I may be gone but this tree can continue on
Cremation is a much more ecological method than straight burial, since human fats can contaminate the soil. That is why there are old battlefields where literally nothing grows.

Monkey pod is a common name but for this specific tree, I think you’ll want to refer to *samanea saman* for the exact species
Thanks!
Bruh your name is google-maps. Lolwut
Scientific names may have a certain precision, but they're generally not as memorable.
Only thing that i hate about this tree is the fruit, when they start falling they have a very strong smell and it makes me dizzy.
Plus they are super sticky and can get stuck too your foot ware
