"Promessa Organic AB is developing and offering a new method of laying the dead to rest. An environmentally friendly form of burial that takes full consideration of the biological realities to which a corpse is subjected.

"Our ecological burial reduces environmental impact on some of our most important resources; our water, air and soil," says Susanne Wiigh-Mäsak, biologist and head of Promessa Organic AB."

I for one feel that turning the dead into something useful and beautiful like a cherry tree or a flower bush is far more morally superior to simply throwing them into a fire or into the ground. Giving our dead back to the environment is leagues more respectful than letting them rot or sit on our mantelpiece as a decoration.

  • I would want to live on as a tree after my time here on Earth. But then I'd be a tree, so I'm still kinda here. Maybe that'll be my afterlife. Really cool idea.

  • No kidding. This is just what happens in nature, and frankly I'd much rather sit under the shade of a tree grown from a loved one and take care of it (which would provide alot of closure), than look at a cold slab of stone.

  • I've always wanted to be buried in this tiny town in Virginia, where I spent half of my life with my dad. Buried in the woods, near our mountain house. (that I hope to soon purchase and turn into an organic farm)
    This has made me realize how realistic this could all be.
    I think bringing back traditional ways of burial that are eco-friendly are a great idea.
