Biodegradable urn planting system

Abstract

The biodegradable urn planting system, also called a LIVING URN, is an apparatus capable of rapid degradation in soil that the user can fill with cremated remains, a pH neutralizing and sodium diluting material, soil, planting mix, wood chips, and a living plant (seedling or bare root stock). When one loses a loved one, it is often difficult to discern what to do with the remains (be they human or animal). Many towns and cities do not allow for burial, and storage of cremated remains can be problematic. The present invention seeks to provide a meaningful and tangible way for one to remember the loved one when the cremated remains are buried with a seedling that may be drop shipped and is appropriate for the environment of use. Thus, the seedling grows into a tree, providing comfort and a reminder of the deceased.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A biodegradable urn planting system comprising:
 a biodegradable container having an opening at the top wherein the biodegradable container can receive cremated remains at a bottom of the container and designed to receive a living plant with roots positioned directly above the cremated remains.
