A company has come up with a way to literally keep the memory of your loved ones alive after they've died, with a special urn that will sprout a tree when placed inside a corresponding incubator.
The Bios Urn and the white, minimalist Incube pot together cost about US$600 (RM2381), and the customer can specify what kind of tree should be grown. The Incube takes complete care of the sapling thanks to a WiFi sensor, needing only its water tank occasionally refilled.
Owners also get notifications on their mobile devices if the urn, which is connected to the Internet, needs a change in temperature or humidity.
According to the Bios Incube team, which funded the product through a successful Kickstarter campaign, the idea behind the device was to change the way people perceive death as well as provide an affordable, environmentally friendly alternative to cemeteries.
Once the tree, which can be grown from either human ashes or those of a pet, is big enough, it can be planted outside, allowing your loved one's memory to continue flourishing long after they have died. — dpa
