Organic burial pods will turn cemeteries into memorial parks full of trees instead of tombstones and crosses

An idea by Italian designers Anna Citelli and Raoul Bretzel shows us a new kind of solution for burial, the deceased being encapsulated in the fetal position in a burial capsule made from easily degradable materials, instead of gravestone and cross, a tree or tree seed that can be chosen before will be planted above it, in the end, a memorial parks full of trees would stand in a cemetery instead of tombstones and crosses. The project named Capsula Mundi is just a concept now.

  1. I so want to do this. I live in the USA and would love to know what the likelihood of being able to be placed in a burial pod is in my area. I would like to have more information about the fetal position pod, which is the one that I am really interested in.
