Generate New Lives: Plant Trees Or Turn The Ashes Into Coral Reef

Families can bury their loved one’s ashes with different types of seeds or within a tree root. However, planting trees with the remains is much more complicated than it sounds.

Cremation ashes do not decompose well, which deters the nutrient absorption process. As a result, DIY is not recommended and there are companies that offer this service at an affordable price.

Man-made reef is also an interesting choice. You can add your loved one’s ashes to a man-made reef, which is called Eternal Reef.
