12. Tree Burials
A new technological advance in burial technology will allow family members to turn their deceased loved ones into trees after their death. The body is placed in a biodegradable capsule, and a small tree is planted right overhead, so that the decomposing body nourishes the growing tree. It’s a beautiful and environmentally friendly way to honor a loved one, and unlike cremation, it gives family members a place to visit if they would like to commemorate the deceased.
