You can plant your loved one’s ashes in a tree and also watch it grow. There are few different ways you can do this. You may choose to simply spread the ashes around the base of a tree and then water the tree to soak the ashes into the ground, or you can plant a new tree and include the ashes in with the dirt as you plant it. There are also urns or pods that hold the ashes and release them as the urn decomposes so the ashes slowly become part of the tree over time and as it grows.
